| mhall119 | Vala is the new Gnome language, right? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| bencrisford | i cant find the edubuntu-docs package for lucid :/ | 10:17 |
| * bencrisford is a bit concerned about the amount of errors in the edubuntu-docs translations | 11:06 | |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: are you around today? | 12:32 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| mhall119 | highvoltage: stgraber: I still need a MOTU to review my packages, can you help? | 15:23 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: i was working checking out an old edubuntu-docs bug today and i found a worrying amount of bugs in the about-edubuntu.xml files | 16:04 |
| bencrisford | the us translation if fine, but all of the others speak about jaunty rather than lucid.. | 16:04 |
| bencrisford | if you like i can fix the ones i can see, upload them to my lp and then propose a merge? | 16:09 |
| Ahmuck | i know the ip address of the server and would like to connect to it via a vbox. any suggestions? | 16:14 |
| Ahmuck | gpxe ? | 16:14 |
| Ahmuck | however i'm not sure how to set this up. | 16:14 |
| Ahmuck | i'm also trying to work out a issue with rosetta stone. rosetta stone networked edition requires windows? I'd wondered if i could run it under wine. If not, in a vbox with an icon on the client that launches the windows detached. anybody using this setup? | 16:15 |
| HedgeMage | Ahmuck: AFAIK all versions of Rosetta Stone require Win. However, I'm the Community Advocate for Rosetta Stone under Crossover Linux -- so I can help you get it up and running when I'm not @ work. | 16:17 |
| HedgeMage | Ahmuck: I have no idea if it'll work in wine or not -- the patches to Crossover for RS are new-ish. | 16:17 |
| Ahmuck | Not all. They are in the winedb | 16:17 |
| Ahmuck | i'll checkout crossover | 16:17 |
| HedgeMage | Yes, if they run on Wine they require Win -- Wine (which ironically stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a Windoze emulator. | 16:18 |
| HedgeMage | Crossover is the commercial version of Wine. | 16:18 |
| HedgeMage | They used to be the same product, then they were forked, now they are back together again -- it's like a little software soap opera ;) | 16:19 |
| HedgeMage | Ahmuck: Anyhow, I have to get back to work. If you need help ping me in a few hours. | 16:20 |
| Ahmuck | crossover is 69.99 per seat or 489.xx. Windows Server 2008 is 659.00. about 150.00 difference. I'm wondering if i could solve everything by booting up Windows vbox windows within the client. | 16:23 |
| Ahmuck | i'll check back with you later today | 16:23 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: ive fixed a bug in gbrainy | 21:34 |
| bencrisford | do i subscribe the ubuntu sponsors? or edubuntu developers? or what? | 21:35 |
| * Lns really doesn't like the direction ubuntu is going in... :( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue187 | 23:01 | |
| Lns | Shuttleworth decides to keep buttons on the left amidst a 20-80% vote to keep it on the right | 23:01 |
| Lns | I feel like they really dislike making LTS releases and all they want to do is keep changing how things work | 23:01 |
| Lns | someone give me some moral support here! | 23:02 |
| Lns | It's like a release comes out, then the "leads" never talk about it again and focus on the next version only. There's no love for people who need consistency. | 23:04 |
| alkisg | Yeah that logout applet thing was already too tiring (it's been changed 4-5 times in the last years), and now the buttons... they shouldn't change such basic stuff without very good reason | 23:10 |
| alkisg | There are a lot of books out there that describe the buttons on the right, moving them to the left causes problems to teaching | 23:11 |
| alkisg | But as for talking about LTS releases, well, once they're out, they're old news, noone likes hearing about old news... | 23:12 |
| Lns | alkisg, Agreed. I'm trying to hack together the old gnome-volume-applet to work in lucid, an older logout applet (or just leave it to the system menu) and put things the way they were before. Not even the older "Human" theme is shipping with it. At least WINDOWS let you go back to the original theme in XP! | 23:28 |
| Lns | It's times like these where I wish there was an LTSP distro, so *we* could determine what's best for our environments. | 23:28 |
| * alkisg notes that we can change some stuff in edubuntu ;) | 23:29 | |
| Lns | right but it seems as though it's a constantly uphill battle with our own "upstream" of ubuntu | 23:31 |
