[06:30] <alkisg> highvoltage: 2 thoughts for the LucidPlanning page: Menu Improvements ==> it'd be nice if we had a team of "edubuntu customizers", and each of them provided an ubuiquity script. This way the user would be able to select that he wants to install e.g. the "Greek primary" edubuntu customization, and that would get him a different set of apps/menus than the "Royal academy of Blahblah" edubuntu customization...
[06:31] <alkisg> I.e. make it easy for countries / schools etc to select their own set of apps/menus.
[06:32] <alkisg> And about the usb installation, the new syslinux version supports creating hybrid images, which can function both as live cds and live usb sticks.
[09:42] <nubae> hi mhall119|work
[09:43] <nubae> whenever u feel like working on  the mirror for linux-for-education.org, let me knw
[16:03] <stgraber> alkisg: the idea for the menu was to write a tool to actually do the filtering correctly (Jordan did some work on that a while ago) and then contact the locoteams to get the configuration for each country/region
[16:04] <alkisg> stgraber: that'd be nice, but giving the opportunity to loco teams to select which apps they want for their region would be even better imho
[16:05] <alkisg> (and, it wouldn't be loco teams in this case, it'd be "customization" or "flavor" or something teams...)
[16:05] <alkisg> (i.e. members of a new group, e.g. edubuntu-customizers)
[16:06] <stgraber> the idea is that we'll ship a default configuration based on the input we get from the locos, then you can always define your own
[16:07] <stgraber> I don't think we need a new group for that as we really want it to be more open as we'll need a lot of input from our users (switzerland for example has 24 different school systems ;))
[16:07] <jbicha> stgraber: and will all the customizations ship on the DVD?
[16:07] <alkisg> OK, then 24 different "flavors", I don't think there's a problem there...
[16:08] <stgraber> jbicha: it's the idea, that'll basically be a few small files defining what's to be display, won't take any space on the DVD
[16:08] <alkisg> As each "flavor" would be a set of apps, it'd only need a few Kb, so we could include any number of them
[16:08] <stgraber> right
[16:08] <jbicha> but won't the files depend on apps, wallpaper, etc.?
[16:08] <stgraber> no
[16:09] <stgraber> all the applications will be on the DVD anyway, if you do a standard install, they'll all be installed
[16:09] <stgraber> then you use that software to filter what your users see
[16:09] <stgraber> so in school districts you could have a single image and depending on the groups in which the user is, he'd get a different set of softwares
[16:11] <stgraber> alright, let's do some packing, then it'll be time to leave that hotel and head for the airport
[16:11] <alkisg> I think that giving people the ability to provide sets of apps would be better. E.g. a school may need an app that we won't ship on the dvd; with a set of apps it could be downloaded over the internet, though...
[16:11] <alkisg> E.g. a multimedia school will have totally different needs than a primary school
[16:13] <alkisg> Have a nice flight
[16:15] <Ahmuck-Jr> how does gobby work?  webdev server?
[17:51] <dgroos_> Hi All,
[17:52] <dgroos_> I'm trying to experiment with upgrading my Jaunty LTSP server to Karmic.
[17:53] <dgroos_> I cloned my Jaunty onto an identical, 2 nic server, rebooted, fixed the 70-persistent-net.rules to eth0 and eth1.
[17:54] <dgroos_> thin clients boot well but...
[17:55] <dgroos_> I can't get out on the internet on the server.  Neither by firefox nor pinging google.com via terminal
[17:56] <dgroos_> probably something simple... I checked /etc/network/interfaces and that looked fine.  Any ideas how I can get this cloned server to access the internet (and thus update to Karmic)?
[18:21] <dgroos_> OK got it finally--saw something on https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html about /etc/resolv.conf and sure enough, that was a blank page.  fixed it up, restarted server and now have access on server.
[20:05] <nubae> aj shucks....
[20:05] <nubae> too bad he couldn't hear me plug telepathy yet again :-p
