[00:22] <doctormo> yep
[03:26] <dinda> jfluhmann: ping
[03:26] <dinda> ping anyone who knows anything about Moodle themes
[03:30] <ZachK_> dinda: i know about "Noodles"
[03:31] <pleia2> I know vantrax was working on one for a bit
[03:32] <dinda> pleia2: just stuck trying to copy a theme inside the moodle theme directory - saying I don't have permission
[03:32] <dinda> pleia2: I'm running a local install and just trying to copy a directory to another directory but my command line foo is weak
[03:33] <pleia2> dinda: is it moodle installed via the ubuntu package?
[03:33] <dinda> pleia2: yes
[03:33] <pleia2> dinda: is the themes directory in /usr/share/moodle/themes - or something?
[03:33] <dinda> pleia2: exactly
[03:33] <dinda> theme
[03:34] <dinda> no 's'
[03:34] <dinda> trying to copy a copy of another theme into that dir
[03:34] <pleia2> ok, lemme pop into one of the moodle installs I have and take a look at how I did permissions
[03:36] <dinda> pleia2: doph!  it worked
[03:36] <pleia2> :)
[03:36] <dinda> apparently I just needed to tell someone the problem and then is mgaically fixed itself
[03:36] <pleia2> lol
[03:36] <pleia2> probably just need to use sudo, since it won't automatically allow users to put themes there
[03:36] <dinda> yes, used that finally too :)
[03:37] <pleia2> looks like on this server I didn't change permissions, the admin has sudo on this box
[03:38] <dinda> pleia2: yes, that's the issue I'm working around, our servers I don't have root on the web server, only Moodle admin access and they don't have time to add the new theme I want so I'm testing local
[03:38]  * pleia2 nods
[03:39] <pleia2> I really wish webapps in ubuntu/debian (moodle, wordpress, drupal) had a better way of handling themes and plugins for the users
[03:39] <pleia2> I always have to figure out clever things to do with our customers
[03:40] <dinda> pleia2: yeah I've asking the design team for at least some of the new colors for the new brand but alas they can't even give us the palette yet
[03:40] <pleia2> bummer
[03:40] <pleia2> hopefully soon, I hear we're getting a new fridge theme sometime in the lucid cycle \o/
[03:40] <dinda> pleia2: yeah, saw your post
[03:41] <dinda> let's just hope it's sometime before meerkat ;)
[03:41] <pleia2> yeah
[03:41] <dinda> pleia2: now an even bigger problem - how to keep the cat off my keyboard when I'm working on the command line!
[03:41] <pleia2> hehe
[03:42] <pleia2> dinda: I haven't figured that one out yet :)
[03:42] <dinda> pleia2: mine is retaliating by scratching up my new sofa
[03:45] <pleia2> eep
[14:37] <jfluhmann> dinda, pong (high latency, I know ;-)
