| joerg | hi | 15:38 |
| joerg | is there a solution for regulating internet access for students? | 15:45 |
| joerg | the proprietary solution we have can do two things: you can (as a teacher) turn on and off the internet in a particular room | 15:45 |
| joerg | and you can give network access codes to students which are valid for a certain amount of time | 15:46 |
| bencrisford | joerg: hmm, do you mean is there a solution that comes with edubuntu? | 15:50 |
| joerg | no | 15:51 |
| joerg | I am just asking edubuntu people | 15:51 |
| joerg | because they might know if there is anything :P | 15:51 |
| bencrisford | joerg: oh, ok :) | 15:51 |
| joerg | I'm developing this portal / intranet solution for schools | 15:53 |
| joerg | and I prefer to integrate existing solutions than making something new | 15:53 |
| bencrisford | joerg: by regulating internet access, do you mean the amount students use it, or what they use it for | 15:56 |
| bencrisford | i.e. do you mean to stop them going on things like online games, or stop them using the internet too much? | 15:56 |
| joerg | I just described what I mean, didn't I? | 15:58 |
| bencrisford | joerg: yes you did, but i didnt fully understand, sorry :S, i get confused easily :/ | 15:58 |
| joerg | turn on and off the internet | 15:59 |
| bencrisford | ok, i see :) | 15:59 |
| joerg | that doesn't mean filter things like online games :P | 15:59 |
| bencrisford | no, it doesnt :P, i understand now ;) | 15:59 |
| bencrisford | joerg: i think that alot of tools that filter websites, also allow you to turn off and on the internet as you describe | 16:03 |
| bencrisford | but i dont know if any exist that just turn on/off the internet | 16:03 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: did you get my email? | 17:05 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: I did indeed! | 17:10 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: yes, feel free to add items | 17:10 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: ah ok great | 17:12 |
| bencrisford | there is a meeting this coming wednesday correct? | 17:12 |
| bencrisford | am i correct?* | 17:13 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: that is correct | 17:15 |
| bencrisford | :) | 17:17 |
| joerg_ | hmm | 17:29 |
| joerg_ | and is there some open source room booking solution? | 17:29 |
| joerg_ | or resource booking in general? | 17:29 |

| bencrisford | highvoltage: i think i have fixed my first edubug since i re-installed ubuntu :D | 18:37 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: which one is that? | 19:17 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: its a typo in the kdeedu control file, but im getting errors when i debuild... | 19:21 |
| bencrisford | i was gona start out with a really really simple bug, but this is being quite troublesome :( | 19:22 |
| bencrisford | im getting these errors - http://pastebin.com/PQc1FwFk | 19:22 |
| bencrisford | its looking for patchsys-quilt.mk but i dont have it | 19:23 |
| bencrisford | even though i have cbds installed | 19:23 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: any ideas? | 19:23 |
| highvoltage | did you do an apt-get build-dep kdeedu? | 19:23 |
| bencrisford | i dont think so.... | 19:24 |
| bencrisford | is that the problem highvoltage ? | 19:24 |
| highvoltage | it could be, you might be missing a build dependency. | 19:24 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: this is the first bug fix ive done completely solo | 19:24 |
| bencrisford | before i had laserjock helping me out | 19:25 |
| bencrisford | no way.... | 19:28 |
| bencrisford | nixternal fixed it an hour ago | 19:29 |
| bencrisford | :( | 19:29 |
| highvoltage | heh :) | 19:29 |
| bencrisford | i should have assigned it to myself straight away, but i wanted to make sure i could do it | 19:29 |
| bencrisford | that sucks :P | 19:29 |
| highvoltage | which one was that btw? | 19:29 |
| nixternal | bencrisford: ahh damn, I am sorry dude...I saw the email for the typo and just fixed it | 19:30 |
| highvoltage | oh right, yes | 19:30 |
| bencrisford | nixternal: haha, its fine, the main thing is that its fixed | 19:30 |
| bencrisford | and anyway, i got the educational value | 19:30 |
| bencrisford | :) | 19:30 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: btw, getting the build deps worked, i got a gpg error, but i guess thats unrelated | 19:31 |
| bencrisford | so ty ;) | 19:31 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: yep, that's normal if you don't have your gpg key set up and defined | 19:32 |
| bencrisford | i set up a new one for my new installation today | 19:32 |
| bencrisford | i couldnt remember the passphrase for my old one [embarrassed face], so i intend to find a way of de-activating it | 19:33 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: how do i define my new one? | 19:34 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: getting you a link... | 19:35 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: i did everything i did last time i think | 19:36 |
| bencrisford | its on my lp.. in my .bashrc | 19:36 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: ah so you have DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME in your .bashrc? | 19:36 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: no... :/ | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | then when you do the build command add -kyouremailaddress@blah.com | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: ok, add the following to your .bashrc: | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | export DEBEMAIL="your.email@host.com" | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | export DEBFULLNAME="First Last" | 19:37 |
| bencrisford | export GPGKEY=(key) - i have that line in there | 19:37 |
| bencrisford | do i need that last one? | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | it's useful to have it there, the other devscripts such as dch and others use it too | 19:38 |
| highvoltage | but it's not strictly necessary | 19:38 |
| bencrisford | ok, i think its all sorted | 19:39 |
| bencrisford | at the bottom of my .bashrc i have: | 19:39 |
| bencrisford | export DEBEMAIL="bencrisford@blahblahblahh..." | 19:39 |
| bencrisford | export DEBFULLNAME="Ben Crisford" | 19:39 |
| highvoltage | ok, then you'll either have to end your terminal session and start a new one or resource bash, or just paste that in your current terminal | 19:39 |
| bencrisford | end terminal session? u mean just close and open terminal? | 19:40 |
| bencrisford | and source ~/.bashrc ? | 19:42 |
| highvoltage | yep, when you open a new one it would have been sourced already | 19:44 |
| bencrisford | oh ok | 19:45 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: if i apt-get source kdeedu again, will that overwrite my changes? | 19:45 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: I believe so | 19:48 |
| bencrisford | ok ty | 19:48 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: on my backup files i found a poster i made for edubuntu a few months ago | 20:17 |
| bencrisford | the poster is pretty useless, but the slogan-catchphrase thing i think is pretty neat | 20:18 |
| bencrisford | "Learn to love, and Love to Learn, with Edubuntu..." | 20:18 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: cool! | 20:35 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: is there a marketing team or anything for edubuntu? because if not i think thats a major issue to be addressed | 20:48 |
| bencrisford | we cant get new contributors if no-one knows how much we need them | 20:48 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: there was an advocacy team ons for that but it's been dead for a long time | 20:50 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: it could do with revival | 20:50 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: shall i add it to the agenda for wednesday? | 20:50 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: yep, if you have a proposal or idea :) | 20:51 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: i added a couple of marketing suggestions ;) | 20:55 |
| bencrisford | discussion about a team, or re-structuring old one, and maybe joint projects with other teams like the students team | 20:56 |
| bencrisford | i think there are possibilities there that could be explored | 20:56 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: in lucid, qcad doesnt appear in any menus | 21:50 |
| bencrisford | and needs to be run from terminal unless you manually add it to the menu | 21:50 |
| bencrisford | what would i change in order to fix this? | 21:50 |
| bencrisford | is it debian/qcad.menu | 21:56 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: sounds right | 21:56 |
| bencrisford | there is a bit in there saying section="Applications/Science/Engineering" | 21:56 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: it probably doesn't get copied to the right directory or there's a problem somewhere in the .desktop file | 21:56 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: but could it just be that it wants to be found in the science>engineering section | 21:57 |
| bencrisford | which doesnt exist.. | 21:57 |
| bencrisford | at least by default anyway | 21:57 |
| === crimsun_ is now known as crimsun | ||
| highvoltage | bencrisford: I think it would go into the most top-level section available | 21:58 |
| bencrisford | science is not a default menu | 21:59 |
| highvoltage | we have science | 21:59 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: we do but it is also a normal ubuntu package | 21:59 |
| bencrisford | and i cant see it in science | 21:59 |
| bencrisford | which means you are correct about it being a .desktop file? | 21:59 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: i think i may have found something... | 22:03 |
| bencrisford | http://pastebin.com/F43MWXzr - that is the contents of the desktop file | 22:04 |
| bencrisford | my gedit highlets the "Graphics" in red | 22:05 |
| bencrisford | what does this mean? | 22:05 |
| bencrisford | nixternal: dont suppose you happen to know what the red highlighting shown here means? - http://i44.tinypic.com/5vvyfs.png | 22:25 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: did you see my screenie? | 22:33 |
| bencrisford | http://i44.tinypic.com/5vvyfs.png | 22:33 |
| bencrisford | then "Graphics" is highlighted red, no-one seems to know what that means, but surely it suggests an error | 22:34 |
| bencrisford | changing it to "Accessories" gets rid of the highlighting | 22:34 |
| bencrisford | but reentering graphics makes it come | 22:34 |
| bencrisford | bak | 22:34 |
| bencrisford | anyway, i need to go, later ;) | 22:35 |
| nixternal | bencrisford: for gedit no, for vim that would mean either it is misspelled, or that Graphics isn't a valid category | 22:35 |
| bencrisford | nixternal: ah ok | 22:35 |
| bencrisford | as i said to highvoltage, Accessories does not get this highlighting | 22:36 |
| bencrisford | so it could be that in .desktop files Graphics has a different id? | 22:36 |
| bencrisford | im off for the night though | 22:37 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: no idea, you'll probably find it in the rules for the gedit highlights | 22:37 |
| highvoltage | ok, goodnight! | 22:37 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: geser suggested checking the .desktop specifications | 22:37 |
| bencrisford | i will do tommorrow | 22:37 |
| bencrisford | night all | 22:38 |
