gnoobHi guys:) Is edulinux and edubuntu basicly the same thing? Or is edulinux redhat'ish and not ubuntu based?  Or you know if edulinux is existing at all?15:35
highvoltagegnoob: hey! I work for the company that used to maintain edulinux15:45
highvoltagegnoob: and I'm currently and edubuntu contributor15:46
highvoltageedulinux doesn't really exist anymore and the contributors got absorbed into edubuntu, although personally I wasn't involved with edulinux at that time15:46
alkisghighvoltage: will there be a meeting tonight?15:59
highvoltagealkisg: yep16:00
alkisgTy16:00
* highvoltage checks calendar to not be confused by time-zone differences again16:00
coz_hey guys... I have edubuntu / lucid on one machine and downloaded the edubuntu maverick dvd...I tried several ways to mount the dvd iso to do an upgrade with no success... am I missing something?16:01
gnoobhighvoltage  OK, thanks:)   Im planning to toss out windows from a computerlab and want a linux terminalserver solution. Is edubuntu easy to set up and maintain?  I see that edulinux had a nice http interface for configuring server and for blocking sites and stuff,  this is very interesting, do edubuntu got this posibility too?16:13
highvoltagegnoob: not really, but there are other alternatives16:14
highvoltagegnoob: I'm wondering if we could get something like http://www.tectonic.co.za/2010/06/gnome-nanny/ into the archives in time for maverick, it seems quite handy16:15
gnoobcool :) gnome nanny looks nice16:18
gnoobAnyone knows whats the best way to run cad software on edubuntu clients?  Is it as easy as this?? : chroot /somewhere/clientOS/ ; aptitude install qcad (or freecad or whatever?)?16:42
alkisggnoob: chroot? are you using ltsp?16:43
alkisgWith ltsp, you just install qcad on the server normally, from synaptic16:43
gnoobno,  but read about ltsp.. thought it was basicly the same thing..16:44
gnoobok so ltsp and edubuntu have completely different ways of managing client OS's  (no wonder why I got confused :P)16:44
alkisggnoob: erm, no16:45
alkisgThere's no "client os" concent in edubuntu16:45
alkisgThere's no client/server concept in edubuntu16:45
alkisgYou can use LTSP on edubuntu of course16:45
alkisgBut edubuntu by itself doesn't have a chroot or anything like that. When we need a client/server model, we use LTSP on edubuntu for that.16:46
gnoobEdubuntu used as a server needs LTSP to serve thin clients then?16:48
alkisgErm, yes, it includes ltsp16:49
alkisg(when checked during the installation)16:49
gnoobthanks for clearing things up alkisg :)16:51
alkisggnoob: no problem. For ltsp questions, you can ask either here or in #ltsp16:51
gnoobFor installing a linux terminal server with edubuntu what iso should I install from?  ubuntu-alternate?  My dream would be something installed on a debian server with no X, and a web interface for the simple configuring. (and a good howto for a vanilla install) :)16:55
alkisgYou can install debian/ltsp, but X and gnome will be required to be installed on the server, to show a GUI on the clients16:56
alkisgBecause the clients get the server's desktop environment16:56
alkisgYou can install either with the edubuntu dvd (contains ltsp) or with the ubuntu alternate cd (press F4 during boot) or even with the ubuntu desktop cd (install ltsp afterwards) or with debian, whatever you like.16:57
gnoobok :)   I will defenitely go for edubuntu then16:58
gnoobhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall     I will try to follow this howto. Looks extremely easy! I hope its as easy as it looks :)17:03
gnoobThanks for great help alkisg and highvoltage:)  Going to start setting up a test server soon17:04
dgroosHowdy All17:28
dgroosMeeting later?17:28
dgroos... in about 2.5 hours?17:28
highvoltagedgroos: yep!17:40
gnoobsudo ltsp-build-client     Can someone help a little on this command. Does it take the server installation and make the client from that?  So if I install qcad e.g,  then Ill have to build client afterward?18:28
highvoltagegnoob: the client only contains enough data to make a system that makes the thin client boot up18:29
highvoltagegnoob: you just need to have qcad installed on your server and the thin client will run it from there18:29
gnoobohh ok :D18:29
highvoltageit builds the thin client environment using ubuntu packages, so you'll just need an internet connection18:30
gnooba lot easier than I thought18:30
LnsDid I miss the meeting? :/19:28
highvoltageLns: it's in 30 mins19:31
Lnshighvoltage: cool thanks :)19:31
highvoltagealkisg, dgroos, dinda, Lns, mhall119, ogra, stgraber: edubuntu meeting in #ubuntu-meeting inabout 8 minutes!19:53
alkisgTy :)19:53
mhall119ok19:55
mhall119I'll be in and out19:55
dgroosThanks highvoltage for making this meeting happen.  Like you, I'd like to see more teachers voices, here.  Seems like there has recently been a lull in edubuntu noise.  Excepting alkisg's multitudes of posts yesterday!20:57
alkisgdgroos: heh sorry those are generated automatically from launchpad20:57
highvoltagehehe :)20:57
alkisgI didn't mail anything :)20:57
dgroosgo for it, then!20:58
highvoltageI have a bunch of alkisg's posts marked as unread that I've read but still want to respond to :)20:58
highvoltagedgroos: oh, I mean, your mails, actually :)20:58
highvoltagedgroos: especially your documentation ideas20:58
highvoltage(sorry that I thought that was alkisg :))20:58
dgroosI'm honored!20:59
* highvoltage goes back to -meeting for a bit to finish taking notes21:00
dgroosIf we had a central area that isn't overly large to organize a concise set of essential how-to's along with a set of less-essential but still important how-tos, that would be widely useful, I'd say.21:01
