| omar | hello | 18:07 |
|---|---|---|
| omar | is there software in edubuntu that can be used t monitor desktop and limit internet usage | 18:08 |
| omar | im new to edubuntu | 18:08 |
| highvoltage | italc could possible do what you need for viewing desktops | 18:26 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: is there a meeting tonight? I just remembered what day it is | 18:46 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: yep | 18:50 |
| highvoltage | bencrisford: and for a change I'll have some things to report again! | 18:51 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: I can't wait :). 1900 UTC? | 18:51 |
| omar | highvolatge thanks for that suggestion .. free open source -- thanks a million | 18:53 |
| mhall119 | dang, same time as the #ubuntu-youth meeting | 18:54 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: btw, have you made any progress with the gnome session for qimo? | 19:21 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: honestly, I haven't started anything for the next round of Qimo yet | 19:30 |
| mhall119 | been dealing with family issues | 19:30 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: ok, I was thinking in terms of what we should include in the installer as options | 19:31 |
| mhall119 | I think the gnome session is going to require some gconf changes, so I'll have to figure out how to make that play nice with the regular Gnome session | 19:32 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: what's the problem there? I can help if you want? | 19:33 |
| mhall119 | I just need to make sure my gconf settings are kept separate from the other session's gconf settings | 19:34 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: why? | 19:35 |
| mhall119 | so there can be separate "Qimo Session" and "Gnome Session" | 19:35 |
| highvoltage | ah, ok | 19:35 |
| mhall119 | otherwise when I apply panel configs in Qimo Session, they'll be applied in Gnome Session too | 19:36 |
| highvoltage | yeah I didn't think of it as so much of a problem, but it would be nice being able to have the option at login time | 19:36 |
| mhall119 | for Xfce, I had to change the value of XDG_CONFIG_HOME to be ~/.qimo instead of ~/.config | 19:36 |
| mhall119 | that's the way it currently is, Qimo has a Qimo Session, and also an Xubuntu Session | 19:37 |
| mhall119 | does Edubuntu have it's own Session? | 19:38 |
| mhall119 | separate from Gnome Session? | 19:38 |
| Lns | mhall119: no | 19:41 |
| Lns | Edubuntu isn't a window manager/DE | 19:41 |
| mhall119 | neither is Qimo | 19:41 |
| mhall119 | or Xubuntu | 19:41 |
| Lns | right | 19:42 |
| Lns | totally different concepts | 19:42 |
| mhall119 | but both Qimo and Xubuntu have their own Sessions | 19:42 |
| mhall119 | separate from the Xfce Session | 19:42 |
| Lns | they do?? lol | 19:42 |
| Lns | that's....weird | 19:43 |
| mhall119 | Session == WM/DE + Default settings | 19:43 |
| mhall119 | Qimo Session = Xfce + Qimo settings | 19:43 |
| mhall119 | no reason Edubuntu can't be Gnome + Edubuntu settings | 19:44 |
| Lns | so a session can apply specific gconf settings? What's the scope of "Default settings" ? | 19:44 |
| * Lns thinks an LTSP "Session" is in order to fix a LOT of problems regarding networked X | 19:44 | |
| mhall119 | in the case of Qimo, it keeps Xfce configs separate from the Xubuntu session | 19:44 |
| mhall119 | Qimo's default settings are things like panel layout, launchers, gtk theme and wallpaper | 19:44 |
| Lns | wow, i had no idea sessions incorporated things like that | 19:45 |
| mhall119 | they can | 19:45 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: edubuntu just changes the default gconf keys | 19:45 |
| mhall119 | just change where it gets the default settings and where it stores them under ~ | 19:45 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: in that case, maybe we can do both a qimo-session-gnome and edubuntu-session-gnome | 19:46 |
| mhall119 | Lns: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/8941/qimosession.png | 19:50 |
| mhall119 | the same user can jump between Qimo session and Xubuntu session, without changes made to one bleeding over into the other | 19:50 |
| Lns | that is fantastic! | 19:51 |
| Lns | that would be very useful in a heterogeneous ltsp/workstation environment | 19:51 |
| mhall119 | the thing with gconf, though, is that we really only want to keep separate gnome settings | 19:53 |
| mhall119 | there's no reason to keep Qimo's gedit settings for a user separate from their Gnome Session gedit settings | 19:54 |
| highvoltage | on an installed edubuntu system, there really wouldn't be much difference between an edubuntu session and a gnome session anyway | 19:58 |
| highvoltage | (although that might not always be the case in the future) | 19:59 |
| highvoltage | Edubuntu meeting time :) | 19:59 |
| bencrisford | woo :) | 20:00 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: apt-cache show desktop-profiles | 21:06 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: looks like I can set an environment variable to change the placement of the user's gconf data, but it's going to be all or nothing | 21:32 |
| mhall119 | which I guess isn't that bad | 21:43 |
| mhall119 | I'll talk to you later about it, heading home now | 21:44 |
