[00:24] <cprofitt> dinda you here?
[00:32] <mhall119> cprofitt: when is the NY show you were talking about earlier?
[00:32] <cprofitt> mhall119: it is every November
[00:32] <cprofitt> so we have a full year to plan :-)
[00:32] <mhall119> ah, ok
[00:33] <cprofitt> I gave a presentation this year...
[00:33] <cprofitt> next year I want to do a few presentations and one full day hands on lab
[00:35] <mhall119> that would be cool
[00:36] <cprofitt> it would be... and from talking to people it would be of interest to teachers
[00:39] <mhall119> if it were a little further sound I might be able to make it
[00:40] <cprofitt> mhall119: where are you located?
[00:40] <mhall119> FLorida
[00:40] <mhall119> which is why I was interested in the Orlando show
[00:40] <cprofitt> ah... yeah the Orlando show would be good...
[00:40] <cprofitt> I may still have a few contacts in Florida... I will dig for those in a few minutes
[00:44] <sbalneav> yeesh. Looks like screem needs a lot of work :(
[01:56] <ehrenpr> sbalneav, do you know if it is super easy to set up a fat client network with edubuntu? I tried the nubea plugin but couldnt get it to work with karmic.
[01:57] <sbalneav> It's not super easy, no.
[01:57] <sbalneav> in other words, it's not integrated
[01:57] <sbalneav> but nubae's plugin should work.
[01:58] <sbalneav> But certainly localapps works fine.
[01:58] <sbalneav> if you need a little less than a full fat client.
[01:59] <ehrenpr> Thanks. I have 12 client connected to a dual 2.00 processor and its gettting crushed
[01:59] <ehrenpr> My student are addicted to flash and java
[02:00] <sbalneav> ah
[02:00] <sbalneav> youtube only?
[02:01] <sbalneav> if so, take a look in #ltsp, I'll paste a helpful script
[02:01] <sbalneav> Or, if you'd prefer, just install firefox as a local app, and the flash and java plugins
[02:02] <sbalneav> that way, MOST things will be on the server, but the firefox and cpu killers run on the thin clients.
[02:02] <ehrenpr> I tend to have the kids doing the same activity, and even gcompris can hurt.
[02:03] <sbalneav> How much ram in the server?
[02:04] <ehrenpr> Originally 8g but then had lots of problems with the x64 server. and the 386 clients.
[02:05] <ehrenpr> when I check system monitor, it shows the ram not being that effected, put the processors are maxxed out.
[02:06] <sbalneav> ok, yeah, so then either faster processors, or localapps
[02:08] <ehrenpr> for local apps how do I determin what name to put into LTS.conf for individual programs.
[02:11] <sbalneav> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPLocalAppsFirefox
[02:12] <sbalneav> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSPKarmicLocalAppsFirefox
[02:13] <ehrenpr> I did that but, how do i do that for gcompris, or tuxpaint?
[02:16] <ehrenpr> also on edubuntu a coule of my client screens ended up upside downn and backward, do you know of any quick fixes?
[02:16] <sbalneav> same way
[02:16] <sbalneav> chroot into the ltsp chroot, apt-get install gcompris, etc.
[02:17] <ehrenpr> ok, ill try that. Thanks
[02:18] <sbalneav> as for the screens
[02:18] <sbalneav> could be a driver issue
[02:19] <NetLife> hello, anyone want to help me?
[02:19] <sbalneav> Depends
[02:20] <sbalneav> If it's about edubuntu, sure.  If you want me to change your tire, you're on your own :)
[02:21] <NetLife> haha, it's about ubuntu and bootable usb
[02:21] <NetLife> I can't boot a usb flash drive with persistence if I use an nvidia agp card
[02:21] <sbalneav> Does it work otherwise?
[02:22] <ehrenpr> thanks sbalneav. maybe ill switch back to edubuntu. Right now kiwi-ltsp. was super easy to setup. I just dont know how to use local aps on it.
[02:22] <sbalneav> ehrenpr: well, channel's here, pop by if you need any help
[02:22] <sbalneav> I'm here most days.
[02:22] <ehrenpr> thank you
[02:23] <NetLife> sbalneav, yes, if I use another (pci) video card, OR if I boot without persitence then it boots
[02:25] <sbalneav> NetLife: Sounds like a bug with the nvidia card buggering with the USB drivers to me.
[02:26] <NetLife> the nvidia card or the motherboard agp is what I'm thinking
[09:04] <Tm_T> hmmm, are different edubuntu- metapackages explained somewhere? my search-fu fails
[09:12] <alkisg> Tm_T: you mean about what they contain? You can see that from apt...
[09:26] <Tm_T> alkisg: heh, I was hoping the purpose of those metapackages been written somewhere so I could direct people to read there
[09:26] <alkisg> Tm_T: you're welcome to help in the wiki/docs etc :)
[09:26] <alkisg> (and I don't really know if they are documented or not...)
[09:27] <Tm_T> alkisg: yup, will look at that if cannot find anything
[12:04] <PaulD> hello
[12:05] <PaulD> I'm having a lot of trouble trying to watch TV from any application except "mplayer /dev/video0"
[12:05] <PaulD> I think I've tried them all
