sbalneavIt creates a zip file of gconf settings & files13:23
stgrabermorning sbalneav !13:35
sbalneavMorning stgraber13:47
stgrabersbalneav: back home or still somewhere in the US ?13:49
sbalneavSitting here in McQuillan's office.  I head to the airport at 11:1513:51
sbalneavin 'bout an hour and 15 minutes.13:52
sbalneavJust doing some more cleanup on the pam_libssh module.13:52
mhall119sbalneav: so it just over-writes the user's gconf files?13:53
mhall119rather than adding a new read-only source location13:53
mhall119the way I was planning on doing Qimo was to add a gdm script that would add a new set of default configs between the user's settings and the default settings13:54
mhall119you could do the same, adding read-only configs before the user's settings13:55
sbalneavmhall119: for the mandatory settings it sets up a new directory.13:55
mhall119in the user's folder, or somewhere shared?13:55
sbalneavUsers' folder13:56
mhall119does sabayon do per-user settings, or do you define a "profile" once and assign it to multiple users or groups13:56
sbalneavSabayon can do both.13:57
mhall119ok13:57
mhall119I'll have to play with it some i guess13:57
highvoltagemhall119: hmm, my twidenash doesn't display. All I did was include the css, and link to the javascript in a block doing <script src="http://edubuntu.org/scripts/twidenash.js?edubuntu"></script>17:19
highvoltagemhall119: was there anything else I should've done17:19
mhall119highvoltage: I'll check it in a minute, gotta pickup the kids from school17:28
highvoltagemhall119: k17:34
mhall119highvoltage: do you have that code hosted somewhere I can check it?18:42
highvoltagemhall119: hmm, only admin users can see it at the moment, I'll just throw it out in an html file somewhere... one moment...18:42
mhall119highvoltage: are you seeing any error messages?18:44
highvoltagemhall119: so I guess this is thie simplest form it should work as? http://edubuntu.org/scripts/microblogs.html18:44
mhall119I think it needs a parent-block18:44
highvoltagehmm, it works when I run it from the loco team site, I'll just grab that script then :)18:49
mhall119that one will also check locoteams.status.net18:51
highvoltagehmm, in this case it seems like that's the only one it's checking18:52
binyam_is there any way to make Qcad open AutoCAD files19:14
mhall119highvoltage: the newest lp:twidenash should work for you19:17
mhall119rev 419:18
binyam_is there any way to make Qcad open AutoCAD dwg files19:24
mhall119binyam_: don't know, sorry19:24
jbichahave you guys heard of http://www.userful.com/ ? Alberta company selling Edubuntu thin client stuff?19:58
highvoltagejbicha: yep, they're stuff was even packaged at one point19:59
highvoltage(although not in main/universe, obviously)20:00
jbichaso they're sort of competing with your company?20:02
highvoltagenot that I know of :)20:02
highvoltageseems to be aiming for a slightly different market20:02
jbichawhat do you mean?20:03
highvoltagejbicha: userful seems more for someone who actually just wants to implement a few computers. revolution linux does more work on the type of stuff that scales very big, like large (3000-5000 machine) LTSP deployments with LTSP cluster20:04
jbichaooh ok20:05
highvoltagejbicha: if you end up deploying that much userful hardware, you'll need to go with a configuration manager anyway and could then just as well use standalone machines20:05
highvoltagejbicha: anyway, if they'd like to be listed on the Edubutnu Marketplace I'd be happy to do so :)20:06
highvoltagejbicha: do you have contact with them? I had in 2006 but the employees I knew there at the time aren't there anymore20:06
jbichawell I don't have any contact with them, just happened to see them mentioned in news stuff I read20:06
jbicha& was curious because I only knew of 1 Canadian Edubuntu business20:07
highvoltageI like that you can make out an edubuntu logo on their front page20:09
jbichaand their logo seems edubuntu-inspired to me20:10
jbichait's still unique20:11
highvoltageyeah20:14
