[18:07] hello [18:08] is there software in edubuntu that can be used t monitor desktop and limit internet usage [18:08] im new to edubuntu [18:26] italc could possible do what you need for viewing desktops [18:46] highvoltage: is there a meeting tonight? I just remembered what day it is [18:50] bencrisford: yep [18:51] bencrisford: and for a change I'll have some things to report again! [18:51] highvoltage: I can't wait :). 1900 UTC? [18:53] highvolatge thanks for that suggestion .. free open source -- thanks a million [18:54] dang, same time as the #ubuntu-youth meeting [19:21] mhall119: btw, have you made any progress with the gnome session for qimo? [19:30] highvoltage: honestly, I haven't started anything for the next round of Qimo yet [19:30] been dealing with family issues [19:31] mhall119: ok, I was thinking in terms of what we should include in the installer as options [19:32] 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 [19:33] mhall119: what's the problem there? I can help if you want? [19:34] I just need to make sure my gconf settings are kept separate from the other session's gconf settings [19:35] mhall119: why? [19:35] so there can be separate "Qimo Session" and "Gnome Session" [19:35] ah, ok [19:36] otherwise when I apply panel configs in Qimo Session, they'll be applied in Gnome Session too [19:36] 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] for Xfce, I had to change the value of XDG_CONFIG_HOME to be ~/.qimo instead of ~/.config [19:37] that's the way it currently is, Qimo has a Qimo Session, and also an Xubuntu Session [19:38] does Edubuntu have it's own Session? [19:38] separate from Gnome Session? [19:41] mhall119: no [19:41] Edubuntu isn't a window manager/DE [19:41] neither is Qimo [19:41] or Xubuntu [19:42] right [19:42] totally different concepts [19:42] but both Qimo and Xubuntu have their own Sessions [19:42] separate from the Xfce Session [19:42] they do?? lol [19:43] that's....weird [19:43] Session == WM/DE + Default settings [19:43] Qimo Session = Xfce + Qimo settings [19:44] no reason Edubuntu can't be Gnome + Edubuntu settings [19:44] 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] in the case of Qimo, it keeps Xfce configs separate from the Xubuntu session [19:44] Qimo's default settings are things like panel layout, launchers, gtk theme and wallpaper [19:45] wow, i had no idea sessions incorporated things like that [19:45] they can [19:45] mhall119: edubuntu just changes the default gconf keys [19:45] just change where it gets the default settings and where it stores them under ~ [19:46] highvoltage: in that case, maybe we can do both a qimo-session-gnome and edubuntu-session-gnome [19:50] Lns: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/8941/qimosession.png [19:50] the same user can jump between Qimo session and Xubuntu session, without changes made to one bleeding over into the other [19:51] that is fantastic! [19:51] that would be very useful in a heterogeneous ltsp/workstation environment [19:53] the thing with gconf, though, is that we really only want to keep separate gnome settings [19:54] there's no reason to keep Qimo's gedit settings for a user separate from their Gnome Session gedit settings [19:58] on an installed edubuntu system, there really wouldn't be much difference between an edubuntu session and a gnome session anyway [19:59] (although that might not always be the case in the future) [19:59] Edubuntu meeting time :) [20:00] woo :) [21:06] highvoltage: apt-cache show desktop-profiles [21:32] 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 [21:43] which I guess isn't that bad [21:44] I'll talk to you later about it, heading home now
