| damianos_ | hello | 16:19 |
| damianos_ | I saw that italc is listed as an included package in the latest edubuntu 9.10 dvd. Is the italc client automatically added to the thin client image too? | 16:21 |
| Damianos | Hi everyone | 16:52 |
| Damianos | I have just a general question... I see italc is an included package in the DVD. Is the client auto installed on the thin client image when installing edubuntu with ltsp? | 16:54 |
| sbalneav | Damianos: Not sure, off the top of my head. | 17:01 |
| Damianos | I guess I will just have to install and see. Is italc recommended for school lab management? | 17:10 |
| sbalneav | Damianos: Yes, it's the default lab management app. | 17:15 |
| Damianos | Great! Thank you. I'm looking forward to the installation | 17:16 |
| sbalneav | Holey mackeral | 20:46 |
| sbalneav | So, as a *completely* arbitrary measurement: | 20:46 |
| sbalneav | Boot thin client | 20:46 |
| sbalneav | log in | 20:46 |
| sbalneav | let settle for 2 minutes | 20:46 |
| sbalneav | check free ram on thin client | 20:47 |
| sbalneav | launch firefox | 20:47 |
| sbalneav | browse to planet.gnome.org | 20:47 |
| sbalneav | check free ram again | 20:47 |
| sbalneav | 843860 - 830412 = 13448 or 13 megs ram used on thin client with firefox | 20:48 |
| sbalneav | do same procedure, but launch epiphany: | 20:48 |
| sbalneav | 843888 - 843724 = 164 K of ram. | 20:49 |
| sbalneav | I suspect there'll be some convergence with sustained browsing, but holey mackeral. | 20:50 |
| alkisg | I think firefox, Qt and openoffice use the local ram for pixmaps... gtk apps don't | 20:54 |
| alkisg | (neither webkit if I remember well) | 20:54 |
| alkisg | I had a problem with my nvidia drivers last week, every time I suspended/resumed my laptop, all pixmaps were corrupted | 20:55 |
| alkisg | So I could visually see which program used pixmaps for which areas of its window :) | 20:55 |
| alkisg | I wonder if there's an X setting to disable pixmaps completely | 20:56 |
| alkisg | Ah, I even got a screenshot of corrupted cached pixmaps: http://imagebin.org/83555 | 21:00 |
| sbalneav | Well, all pixmap cacheing is is just asking the X server to allocate you some ram, then you use the ram to save your pixmaps | 21:06 |
| sbalneav | there's no "cache pixmap" primitive in X | 21:07 |
| sbalneav | It'd be like asking to turn off malloc() :) | 21:07 |
| sbalneav | One supposes you could do it, but your system wouldn't boot very fast :) | 21:07 |
| sbalneav | i.e. not at all :) | 21:08 |
| sbalneav | Actually, what you're doing is simply allocating more pixmaps that you're actually displaying within the graphcal viewport | 21:11 |
| sbalneav | Anyone know of a place where I can get the H264 codec? | 21:11 |
| sbalneav | Wonder if that place that does professional gstreamer development has 'em | 21:12 |
| sbalneav | fluendo | 21:12 |
| sbalneav | http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/complete-set-of-playback-plugins/ | 21:14 |
| sbalneav | ah, yeah | 21:14 |
| sbalneav | they've got an h.264 codec | 21:14 |
