alkisgI'm having problems with sdl sound in edubuntu Lucid (while plain Ubuntu Lucid works fine).15:32
alkisgCould it be that phonon somehow messes with the backends?15:32
sbalneavdunno, never played with phonon15:37
alkisgIt gets installed by default in edubuntu, unfortunately :(15:39
sbalneavhm15:39
alkisg(either that or I did something wrong)15:39
ogralikely by kdeedu15:40
highvoltageI just checked the rdepents and it is indeed kdeedu apps that depend on it15:40
alkisgI heard that kde won't use pulseaudio as the default backend in Lucid, it'll be ready for pulseaudio but won't use it due to lack of testing. Maybe we should test/make it as the default backend in edubuntu (if that's actually the problem, that is...)15:41
alkisgAs gcompris, tux* etc all use sdl15:41
* alkisg will test more to pinpoint his problem15:42
highvoltagewow, rsyncing from the karmic dvd to the latest daily build is quite faster than I thought it would be15:44
highvoltage(just started a few minutes ago and it's already on 9%)15:44
alkisgKarmic? Wow...15:44
alkisgI use dl-ubuntu-test-iso, it's handy for syncing daily builds15:44
highvoltageI'll look into that, in the old days I used one of ogra's scripts15:45
highvoltageI don't want to sync every day though, it would make me poor :)15:45
highvoltage(I mean, poorer)15:45
alkisgHow much do you pay to e.g. download a full dvd?15:46
highvoltagealkisg: around 25 euro15:48
highvoltagealkisg: I'm trying out a new ISP that's a bit cheaper atm, I think with them it will be around 15 euro instead.15:49
alkisgWow internet is *really* expensive there... You'd be better off with freenx and a report VM15:50
highvoltageyeah15:51
highvoltageI like having it here though :)15:51
highvoltageand that's just for bandwidth, we also have to pay extra DSL rental on top of our phone line rental costs15:51
alkisg*remote, not report. What's wrong with me today?15:51
highvoltageso before I even transfer a bit my dsl line already costs me around 50 euro15:51
alkisgSo what people percentage actually has internet? 1 out of 100?!!!15:52
highvoltagepossibly quite a bit more than that, but when it comes to broadband internet... it's probably less than 1 out of a 10015:52
highvoltagemost people connect using GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA since there's no fixed monthly rental charges15:53
highvoltageso lots of people do that and pay 0.20 euro per MB for whatever amount of bandwidth they can afford15:53
alkisgI see... we mostly use that method for GPRS/3G here, as broadband is quite common/cheap. I only pay 20€ per month, and that includes my phone bill & internet access (6 mbps)15:55
highvoltagethat seems quite common in europe15:56
highvoltageour expensiveness is purely due to our telecoms monopoly here15:56
highvoltagewe had a competitor join in recently, but Telkom still controls pretty much everything (they're the only ones who can still provide DSL, for example)15:57
alkisgWe had monopoly maybe 5 years ago, and _now_ the main provider starts lowering its prices :-/15:58
alkisghighvoltage: the ldm-crashing problem I was experiencing was because of LP #505787. I worked around the problem, and also I have FAT_CLIENT=True in my lts.conf, but I'm logging on normally (as a thin client) instead. Any hints?16:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 505787 in ltsp "nbd-client /dev/nbd0 is ran twice, causing ldm to segfault" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50578716:03
* alkisg tries with LTSP_FATCLIENT=True instead of FAT_CLIENT=True...16:22
highvoltagealkisg: working?16:27
alkisgYup, finally!16:27
alkisgphone, brb...16:28
* stgraber bangs his head on the wall ... that CD building thing is really really complicated ...16:40
stgraberstgraber@castiana:~/data/code/ubuntu-cdimage$ find . | wc -l16:40
stgraber163516:40
stgraberthat's all the scripts used to build a CD image ;)16:40
highvoltagewow. with that many files there's probably a lot of sourcing and run-partsing, etc16:42
* alkisg hugs stgraber as well :)16:44
stgraberyep, lots of sourcing + it's debian packaged + there's a Makefile ;)16:45
stgraberjust poked ubuntu-release about it, let's hope someone knows how that magic works (cjwatson is way too busy to look at it now)16:45
alkisgWouldn't it be a good idea to install by default (in 010-fat-client) all the langpacks that the server has?16:46
highvoltagethat's a good idea, I guess some people might like the chroot a bit smaller by default, but perhaps it should be an option16:47
alkisgOr at least the one that matches the server locale...16:48
alkisgHmm maybe that switch could be handled by 030-late-packages...16:51
