| gnoob | Hi guys, Im a admin at a school tired of windoze in the computerlab and Im considering switching to edubuntu. Wine will have problems running in edubuntu on a thin client I guess? We use autocad and photoshop there (sadly).. I love gimp so Ill try to convince the principal and the teachers that gimp is just as good.. but autocad? | 02:32 |
|---|---|---|
| gnoob | Running autocad from wine ist a good idea I guess?? I better look for gpl alternatives I guess? anyone knows? | 02:33 |
| pleia2 | I don't actually know of any good open source CAD software for linux | 02:36 |
| pleia2 | might try running it in wine, whether it'll run ok over a thin client depends on your server, network and the clients themselves | 02:36 |
| gnoob | ok, I wonder how wine handle multiuser system though, if it loads the whole program x numer of times, or only once + users. But Ill give it a try I think in a test environment ofcourse :) | 03:18 |
| gnoob | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall To follow this howto I need to install from lucid lynx's alternate cd? Said anything about Hardy there.. but thats only for knowing the history I guess? :) | 03:19 |
| ball | hello alkisg | 06:41 |
| alkisg | Hello | 06:41 |
| alkisg | !info tuxpaint | 16:32 |
| ubottu | tuxpaint (source: tuxpaint): A paint program for young children. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.9.21-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 172 kB, installed size 408 kB | 16:32 |
| alkisg | highvoltage, the "missing translations" problem of tuxpaint (due to the universe demotion, LP #503919) also affects tuxtype, can we somehow reupload them? Is an SRU needed? | 17:09 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 503919 in Baltix "Translations missing in tuxpaint-data Ubuntu 10.04 package" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/503919 | 17:09 |
| alkisg | If I remember correctly, you told me not to upload them to the edubuntu stable ppa, because we'd solve it with a more proper method.. | 17:09 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: hey! | 22:39 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: opening that bug report and taking a look... | 22:40 |
| alkisg | Hey man, what's up? | 22:40 |
| * alkisg uploaded tuxtype to his ppa, but needs 3 days to build :) | 22:40 | |
| highvoltage | yeah, ppa building has been terribly slow this week | 22:41 |
| highvoltage | I guess a good start would be to copy it to the edubuntu ppa once it's tested, I haven't looked into it yet so I don't know exactly what has to be done yet, at a guess so far it sounds like something that could perhaps be sru'd | 22:42 |
| alkisg | Just a reuploading, nothing more | 22:42 |
| highvoltage | ah, I see | 22:42 |
| alkisg | It was first build while it was in main, so translations were stripped | 22:43 |
| alkisg | (supposedly put in the langpacks) | 22:43 |
| alkisg | But then it was demoted to universe, so it ended up without the .mo files anywhere | 22:43 |
| alkisg | So a dummy version bump or something like that would suffice | 22:43 |
| alkisg | But I don't know who needs to sponsor this, if it can go to lucid-updates, if it needs an SRU etc etc | 22:44 |
| alkisg | It's been on my ppa for months, it's tested, it's fine | 22:45 |
| alkisg | (I didn't test tuxtyping yet, but I believe it has the same problem) | 22:45 |
| highvoltage | we have to follow the procedure that's listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 22:45 |
| highvoltage | it may be seen as not quite serious enough, but it is quite low risk so I would think that the SRU request will probably be approved | 22:46 |
| alkisg | "Upload the fixed package to release-proposed with the patch in the bug report" ==> who has rights to upload there? | 22:47 |
| highvoltage | I do | 22:51 |
| highvoltage | you do too :) | 22:51 |
| highvoltage | you're part of the Edubuntu Council, which is a member of Edubuntu Developers, and Edubuntu Developers can upload the Edubuntu packages | 22:51 |
| alkisg | Ugh, seems like I need to read up on all that :) | 22:51 |
| highvoltage | won't take you long to figure out, uploading to -proposed is the same as uploading to a PPA, but you need to file that SRU bug first and get it acked by someone in the release team | 22:52 |
| alkisg | So a new bug needs to be filed? Or should we reuse the existing bug report? | 22:53 |
| highvoltage | new bug | 22:57 |
| stgraber | mhall119: yep, I should be there. | 22:57 |
| mhall119 | awesome | 22:57 |
| mhall119 | it'll be an hour from my house | 22:57 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: and then subscribe ubuntu-release when it's ready | 22:58 |
| highvoltage | ohi stgraber | 22:58 |
| alkisg | highvoltage: hmm ok, after that meeting I got the impression you would be doing that, but I guess I can try it as soon as I get some free time to read all that stuff :) | 22:59 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: ouch, if I said I would, I will. I just seemed to have lost track of that to-do list item then | 23:00 |
| alkisg | np - I already have that on the greek schools ppa so I don't actually have need for it - so it may be a good chance for me to learn how to apply for an SRU | 23:01 |
| alkisg | (i'll be visiting NY for 2 weeks, so probably when i get back...) | 23:02 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: I'll upload it to maverick so long, that will at least take care of the first step as listed in the procedure | 23:10 |
| alkisg | highvoltage: the maverick package is ok | 23:11 |
| alkisg | It was uploaded while tuxpaint was already in universe | 23:11 |
| alkisg | It's not a packaging problem, launchpad did this... | 23:11 |
| highvoltage | ok, in that case the bug should be marked as fixed | 23:12 |
| alkisg | ...unless we file a bug on launchpad instead | 23:12 |
| alkisg | That one isn't fixed, it still messes translations up, when demotions from main to universe happen :) | 23:13 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: yep, certainly sounds like a bug needs to be filed against LP there | 23:14 |
