sbalneavMorning all14:43
alkisgGood morning sbalneav14:55
sbalneavHow's the weather in Greece?14:56
sbalneavWe're expecting between 5-10 cm of snow over the next 24 hours :)14:56
alkisgOoooh... I'm jealous :)14:57
alkisgHere's it's just rain... can't go skiing :(14:57
stgrabersbalneav: bah bah, that's nothing ;)15:12
stgrabersbalneav: though, interesting, according to my gnome weather applet, it's colder in Winnipeg than in Sherbrooke today15:13
sbalneavWhat's it like in La Belle Provence?15:13
sbalneavIt's actually not too bad here.15:13
sbalneav-9's not anything to get too worried about.15:13
stgraberit was -15C yesterday but it's only -6C at the moment here and we had 5-6cm yesterday + the lot we had the week before15:13
sbalneavAh, -6's pretty good.15:14
stgraberyep, feels like summer :)15:14
sbalneavI don't generally tend to get feeling it's too "cold" until it drops below about -2015:14
sbalneavTHEN it starts getting nippy.15:14
stgraberyeah, on the 31st last year it was something like -25 or -30 here, that's really really cold :)15:15

* highvoltage gets some coffee before it's too late18:57
sbalneavdarned kids18:58
stgraberfun youtube video :)18:59
sbalneavIt's a running joke at Legal Aid Systems Department.  If something isn't our problem, we say "That's not my dog"19:01
highvoltagestgraber: lol19:02
pmfrancoHello everybody19:27
sbalneavHello19:27
mhall119|workhey guys, Qimo just lost it's last USA mirror host, do you think Canonical would be willing to provide mirror space?  and if so, who should I ask about that?19:44
sbalneavNot sure.19:45
stgrabermhall119|work: IIRC there's a link on the mirror page of launchpad to contact the mirror admins, maybe you can get in touch with a mirror admin this way19:48
stgrabermhall119|work: otherwise you can try #canonical-sysadmin but that's mostly the tech guys here, not sure they can do much in your case19:48
stgrabermhall119|work: do you still have mirrors somewhere else ?19:48
stgraber(Canonical will likely be in Europe, I don't think they mirror in the US at all)19:49
mhall119|workstgraber: yeah, in S. America and Europe19:49
mhall119|workI'm looking at kernel.org now, might be able to get on with them19:49
pmfrancohi people20:09
pmfrancoi would like to star a kubunut community in my country Ecuador20:09
pmfrancowath we should do???20:09
pmfrancoany idea20:10
alkisgkubuntu? Why don't you ask in #kubuntu then?20:10
pmfrancopardon,20:11
pmfrancois edubuntu community20:11
alkisgYeah, edubuntu has a community, and it's community driven... So you want to start an edubuntu loco team? Or an ubuntu loco team?20:13
pmfrancoWell, the locoteam Ubuntu Ecuador exist20:14
pmfrancobut, we need a Edubuntu LUG for the teachers, students, and others20:14
pmfrancowe use edubuntu at schools, university, etc20:15
pmfrancodo you know any channel of edubuntu in spanish, please20:16
* alkisg doesn't know...20:19
stgraberwe used to have edubuntu-es but I don't think it's active anymore20:19
stgrabermaybe some spanish speaking Locos may have some edubuntu guys around (though I don't remember of one)20:19
pmfrancoany idea o star our edubuntu community, or contact in spanish???20:21
stgraberI guess best is to see if you have Loco members active in education and do a spin-off of your Loco for education20:23
pmfrancoi understang, a community of edubuntu inside of our LoCo Team Ubuntu Ecuador20:24
pmfrancois correct???20:24
stgraberyep, that'd be the easy way to set it up20:28
pmfrancothanks, i'll do it20:29
highvoltagemhall119|work: I haven't figured out xplash myself yet, but I need to do so for a bunch of other stuff20:30
mhall119|workhighvoltage: cool, we can learn it together20:30
mhall119|workUSplash wasn't that hard, but it's pretty basic too20:30
highvoltagemhall119|work: so as I figure it out we can compare notes yes20:31
highvoltageyes usplash is ok20:31
mhall119|workis Lucid going to have both USplash and XSplash still, like Karmic?  Or will USplash be dropped?20:31
highvoltagemhall119|work: afaik lucid is going to use plymouth, it's a *lot* smoother than usplash. I don't think it actually uses usplash20:32
mhall119|workplymouth?  I thought they didn't like that20:32
mhall119|workI thought XSplash was the alternative to plymouth20:32
highvoltagemhall119|work: I think xsplash is going to stay though, not sure if plymouth replaces that either. stgraber played with plymouth on LTSP yesterday20:32
highvoltagemhall119|work: well, things change... fast :)20:33
mhall119|workdoes plymouth run on X11, or the kernel frame buffeR?20:33
highvoltagemhall119|work: well, it uses KMS (kernel mode switching), so I guess it uses both20:33
mhall119|workit may not use X1120:33
mhall119|workKMS doesn't need it20:34
highvoltagewell it fades into your X session when your X session is ready20:34
highvoltageso I guess there's some integration there20:34
mhall119|workah, then it's probably built on X20:34
mhall119|workI don't think KMS can do fading between20:34
highvoltageit may be that kms brings up X without any mode changes or flashes and then X does the fading, I'm not sure, I haven't played with it myself yet, but I'm installing lucid on an extra laptop and see what it does20:36
mhall119|worksbalneav: does nanny to web content filtering?20:37
stgraberhighvoltage: xplash will likely be replaced by plymouth X support21:07
stgraberhighvoltage: I tried it and it works fine and so did Keybuk, so I expect it to be the logical replacement of xsplash21:08
sbalneavmhall119|work: Dunno yet.21:27
sbalneavlemme look21:27
highvoltagemhall119|work: ^^^21:28
sbalneavmhall119|work: http://git.gnome.org/browse/nanny/tree/help/nanny.xml21:29
sbalneavlooks like access to websites, but not content filtering.21:29
sbalneavuse dansguardian for that.21:29
alkisgSo what's the key reason to use nanny? PC time limits?21:30
sbalneavprolly21:31
sbalneavheading home, be on later.21:31
alkisgIf it does a good work at that, I'll use it for my kids :D (but not at school, no reason there...)21:31
alkisgHmmm editing docbooks with openoffice... http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/docbook/UserGuide.html21:33
alkisgSince I'm mostly using openoffice, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use the template offered there, for easier docbook exporting...21:34
