| mhall119 | highvoltage, looks like my GDM problem wasn't a problem afterall, just VirtualBox being funny, so I should hopefully have Qimo Session packages this week | 04:41 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | I'll ping you when they're ready, and we can see what our options are at that point | 04:42 |

| highvoltage | hi sbalneav | 16:04 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav, alkisg, nixternal: the Ubuntu Developer Board meeting is tomorrow at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting | 16:52 |
| highvoltage | would be good if you could attend, as you know we're applying for upload rights for all edubuntu packages for the edubuntu-dev group. would be nice if we could get this sorted out | 16:52 |
| * alkisg will try to make it - might be back home at 15:20, though... :-/ | 16:54 | |
| alkisg | Thanks highvoltage | 16:54 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: that should be fine, I guess it will take them a few minutes to get everything rolling | 16:55 |
| joerg | hi | 16:58 |
| highvoltage | hi joerg | 17:05 |
| joerg | do you know the gosa project? | 17:05 |
| joerg | it is an easy peasy ldap gui thing | 17:05 |
| joerg | to manage users, groups, hosts, whatever stuff you can put into ladp | 17:06 |
| joerg | ldap | 17:06 |
| joerg | thought it might be interesting to provide that as option for the school server project :) | 17:06 |
| joerg | so had a look at it, and well....the ubuntu slapd uses that new directory-style config - so schemas need to be converted to ldif. | 17:07 |
| joerg | I downloaded the stable gosa release, ldif files already included. | 17:07 |
| joerg | but completely broken. | 17:07 |
| joerg | somebody did search and replace with a text editor on the old. *.schema files and replaced a bit too much :) | 17:07 |
| joerg | I fixed them all | 17:07 |
| joerg | opened a ticket about it and attached a patch. | 17:08 |
| joerg | the project leader closed the ticket and marked it as "fixed". | 17:08 |
| joerg | what he did? he simply removed the broken *.ldif files and said: better none than unmaintainend :) | 17:08 |
| Lns | Morning everyone | 17:58 |
| highvoltage | morning Lns | 18:12 |
| Lns | hi highvoltage | 18:12 |
| highvoltage | Lns: there's an Ubuntu Developer Board meeting tomorrow in #ubuntu-meeting at 15:00 UTC, would be nice if you could join, we're applying for the upload rights so that members of edubuntu-dev would be able to upload any edubuntu related packages if needed | 18:12 |
| Lns | Hey I had an idea the other night.. are there any facilities for something of a "virtual ppa" ? What I mean is, maybe a PPA URL that simply 'contains' an administrated list of other PPAs..kind of like a ppa group | 18:13 |
| highvoltage | joerg: sorry I was in other channels, didn't see your messages yet :) | 18:13 |
| Lns | highvoltage: that's great! Would it be advantegous for me to be there even though I'm not really a part of edubuntu-dev? | 18:14 |
| highvoltage | Lns: that would be nice for ppa's that depend on packages in other ppa's | 18:14 |
| highvoltage | Lns: currently, no one is part of edubuntu-dev, but it will be formed hopefully soon :) | 18:14 |
| Lns | ah cool =) | 18:15 |
| highvoltage | Lns: but you are on the Edubuntu Council who will be administering the Edubuntu Developers group, so although not strictly necessary, it would be nice to have you there | 18:15 |
| Lns | highvoltage: exactly. A good example could be some sort of 'edubuntu ppa' where we could pull from other PPAs such as if there were a tux4kids/gcompris/etc ppa with newer packages | 18:16 |
| alkisg | Lns: you can just copy the packages | 18:16 |
| Lns | highvoltage: so 15:00 UTC is ... 7AM here..yikes ;) | 18:16 |
| alkisg | That's what I do with my own PPAs, I copy whatever I find useful, so that my schools need only have my PPAs in their sources. | 18:17 |
| Lns | alkisg: yeah but that creates an inconsistency that manually has to be updated too | 18:17 |
| highvoltage | Lns: that's a feature you'll have to discuss with the Launchpad team though. perhaps suggest it on #launchpad :) | 18:17 |
| alkisg | Lns: inconsistency? | 18:17 |
| Lns | alkisg: if the original ppa gets updated, yours doesnt..? | 18:17 |
| alkisg | Sure, that's a good thing | 18:17 |
| alkisg | Are you sure that you trust the newer version? | 18:17 |
| Lns | it is definitely a good thing in some cases, in others it might be better to have them link to the original developer ppa too :) | 18:18 |
| Lns | both have good use cases | 18:18 |
| alkisg | For that to work, you'd either need to accept unsigned packages, or put all of the linked ppa keys to your apt keyring | 18:19 |
| Lns | or, there could be some sort of inhereting functionality with the "virtual ppa" | 18:22 |
| joerg | vmlintu, hey....are u there? there's a little typo in part 1 of your excellent ldap setup guide ;) | 19:17 |
| vmlintu | joerg: hi.. | 19:21 |
| joerg | vmlintu, it's in init_database.ldif | 19:23 |
| joerg | vmlintu, line 5 | 19:24 |
| vmlintu | joerg: dc: edu ? | 19:24 |
| joerg | vmlintu, yepp | 19:24 |
| vmlintu | hmm.. what it should be? (I'm slow today) | 19:25 |
| joerg | hmm.... | 19:25 |
| joerg | vmlintu, trying to find it :D | 19:26 |
| vmlintu | are you getting an error somewhere? | 19:26 |
| joerg | vmlintu, the thing is, I have done that ages ago | 19:27 |
| joerg | and it didn't work. I fixed it and it worke. | 19:27 |
| joerg | just don't know where I have that file.... | 19:27 |
| vmlintu | did you use the file as-is or did you modify it? | 19:28 |
| joerg | vmlintu, well, didn't use example.org :) | 19:29 |
| vmlintu | did you change dc=edu on the dn line? | 19:30 |
| joerg | vmlintu, mhhmm.... | 19:34 |
| joerg | vmlintu, I cannot find it. | 19:34 |
| joerg | edu is correct in that case :-/ | 19:34 |
| joerg | vmlintu, mhhm....was my mistake probably :) | 19:35 |
| joerg | vmlintu, the host is demo.myserv-project.org | 19:35 |
| joerg | maybe I change the edu to org and it didn't work :) | 19:36 |
| joerg | because it must be demo | 19:36 |
| vmlintu | if you use dc=demo,dc=myserv-project,dc=org for it, dc needs to match the demo | 19:36 |
| joerg | vmlintu, yepp.....I know....strange | 19:58 |
| Lns | does anyone think it'd be a horrible idea to try and install libasound2 package from 8.10 into 8.04? I'm trying to satisfy a dependancy for newest version of rdesktop in stgraber's ppa | 20:41 |
| crimsun | horrible, no. Not recommended certainly. | 20:44 |
| crimsun | if you really want that you should backport the source package itself instead of dropping in the binary. | 20:46 |
| Lns | crimsun: thx.. I just ended up installing from source =) | 21:01 |
| Lns | rdesktop isn't seeing my win2k3 VM's sound device. I can log in through vmware and use it fine, but an 'rdesktop -r sound:local <ip_of_win_svr> doesn't work :( | 21:02 |
| Lns | it's weird because pretty much a duplicate setup over at another school works fine | 21:02 |
| crimsun | Lns: err, that may cause issues... | 21:25 |
| crimsun | Lns: if you have a locally-compiled (/usr/local/lib) alsa-lib in addition to a distro-provided one (in /usr/lib), you should be aware of other packages possibly misbehaving unless recompiled against the newer one. | 21:26 |
| Lns | crimsun: thanks - i just figured it out from gadi - was a windows setting i had to disable (ts config: disable audio device mapping) | 21:27 |
| huayra | hi | 22:35 |
| huayra | does edubuntu support roaming profiles? | 22:35 |
| highvoltage | when you use ltsp you your profiles are quite mobile | 22:40 |
| huayra | do you know if any of Canonical course offerings cover this? There's a Debian-Edu/Skolelinux admin that wants to migrate to Ubuntu if this option is available and if he can get training | 22:42 |
| highvoltage | there's ltsp training happening soon that's provided by upstream LTSP I believe, but as far as I know that's just in the US | 22:43 |
| huayra | highvoltage: Isthe edubuntu team planning to work closer with DebianEdu/SkoleLinux? I know a whole bunch of the Skolelinux people here in Norway and if you guys would like to get in touch I could arrange something | 22:43 |
| highvoltage | huayra: we have distant contact, sbalneav hangsout in their irc channel and maintains our relationship with them | 22:44 |
| huayra | they have contacted me earlier (I am the contact member of the Norwegian LoCo) about this | 22:44 |
| huayra | I see | 22:44 |
| highvoltage | huayra: it would certainly be nice to have a better working relationship with them | 22:44 |
| highvoltage | huayra: would be nice if you hang around too! | 22:45 |
| huayra | I am going to tak with the community guy over there and see what he thinks | 22:45 |
| highvoltage | huayra: sbalneav is also upstream LTSP so he could possibly give you some more info on that too | 22:45 |
| huayra | I am adding the channel to my autojoin list ;) | 22:45 |
| highvoltage | awesome :) | 22:45 |
| huayra | highvoltage, thanks a lot! | 22:45 |
| highvoltage | and thanks to you, huayra | 22:46 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage, https://launchpad.net/~scratch/+archive/ppa/+packages the Scratch package for Lucid is available | 23:44 |
| mhall119 | I should have some for Qimo tomorrow (expecting final art tonight) | 23:45 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: cool | 23:55 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage, I used the email address he has listed in LP, and he's pretty responsive if you guys need something from him while reviewing it | 23:56 |
