| jjido | if I copy a live CD to disk, how do I boot it? Just add the kernel in the Grub menu or do I need loadlin | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jjido | do I need initrd | 00:09 |
| mhall119 | jjido: 196MB is pretty low | 00:10 |
| mhall119 | if you have a standalone video card, you can probably get Qimo or Xubuntu running | 00:10 |
| mhall119 | but most apps will still be very slow | 00:10 |
| jjido | mhall119: Gnome in Ubuntu 6 is quite slow | 00:11 |
| mhall119 | jjido: I think it's more complicated than that | 00:11 |
| HedgeMage | jjido: if you don't know what you are doing, just use the ubuntu usb startup disk creator: it does it all for you | 00:11 |
| jjido | HedgeMage: I think I know what I am doing ;) | 00:13 |
| mhall119 | famous last words | 00:13 |
| HedgeMage | lol | 00:14 |
| jjido | lol | 00:19 |
| bluefrog | is nanny working correctly on edubuntu 10.10? on my "normal" ubuntu 10.10 it dosn't prevent a user to log in. | 08:25 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: how long ago did you apply to join the ubuntu derivative team? | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | nevermind, I see it | 13:37 |
| highvoltage | k | 13:40 |
| bluefrog | is nanny working correctly on edubuntu 10.10? on my "normal" ubuntu 10.10 it dosn't prevent a user to log in. | 14:00 |
| highvoltage | bluefrog: it should work the same on both | 14:16 |
| highvoltage | bluefrog: but to play it safe, I suggest you file a bug on https://launchpad.net/nanny so that we'll look into it | 14:17 |
| highvoltage | (well, we or some other team that might care about nanny) | 14:17 |
| highvoltage | our version still matches upstream, at least. | 14:18 |
| bluefrog | I filed a bug 2 days. what puzzles me is that I see a lot about the same stuff on the web since a long time and I was the first to file in a report. ok ty. wait and see | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: 2 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/2) | 14:19 |
| bluefrog | and I tried it on 2 differetnt machines with the same results | 14:20 |
| highvoltage | bluefrog: against nanny? I can't see it on https://bugs.launchpad.net/nanny | 14:20 |
| highvoltage | (there's just 4 bugs) | 14:20 |
| bluefrog | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706269 | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 706269 in nanny (Ubuntu) "nanny does not prevent user loging" [Undecided,New] | 14:21 |
| highvoltage | bluefrog: I can't promise to fix it, but I'll look at it this week and can help at poking upstream about it, I think it might be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nanny/+bug/583739 | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 583739 in Nanny "Daemon does not start" [Undecided,New] | 14:23 |
| bluefrog | hum think the daemon is up. anyway might have a look in the source. I may be lucky and understand something even though I am no programmer. | 14:24 |
| bluefrog | using nanny from the universe repository apparently if it does a difference | 14:24 |
| highvoltage | unfortunately nanny isn't very much extensively tested, so any feedback or fixes you can contribute will be appreciated | 14:25 |
| bluefrog | ty for anwsering me. have a nice day | 14:25 |
| highvoltage | you too! | 14:26 |
| bluefrog | ok no problem I will test cause so far the idea is good | 14:26 |
| bluefrog | I can prevent user to log in with time.conf but it's a pain in the ass for me to script a user kick out | 14:26 |
| bluefrog | going to install edubuntu and I will try to find some differences | 14:27 |
| highvoltage | ok, it's the exact same package so there shouldn't be a difference, but then again anything is possible :) | 14:33 |
| bluefrog | then must be something in the OS conf. zsync right now. bye | 14:44 |
| highvoltage | anyone here used gelemental before? | 15:07 |
| mhall119 | nope | 15:18 |
| highvoltage | pity there's so many nice programs out there that works nice for a while and then just crashes | 15:43 |
| Nubae | :-) | 15:43 |
| highvoltage | Alan Bell: Edubuntu at BETT 2011: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2011/01/24/edubuntu-at-bett-2011 | 15:56 |
| AlanBell | um, yeah | 15:58 |
| AlanBell | that is me :) | 15:58 |
| highvoltage | just shared it on identica/facebook/twitter as well :) | 16:00 |
| AlanBell | nice :) | 16:01 |
| highvoltage | I'm only 2 minutes in but it's really nice, I'll favoutire it on the Edubuntu youtube channel too | 16:02 |
| * stgraber still need to watch it | 16:09 | |
| highvoltage | stgraber: is there a way we can have two urls in drupal go to the same page? I just got to a slide where he showed the edubuntu.org/vmmanager link and I think it would be nice having /weblive linked to that as well | 16:10 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: I'm pretty sure "there's a module for that" (after the "there's an app for that") :) | 16:25 |
| highvoltage | :) | 16:26 |
| stgraber | wow, unity really works well for heavy multi-tasking | 16:28 |
| stgraber | currently have something like 30 different windows open and it's still quite easy to find the right one :) | 16:28 |
| highvoltage | cool. I guess that's more compiz coolness though. the move to compiz was the best decision the unity have made up to date imho | 16:29 |
| stgraber | yep, but having the "scale" effect per software is really quite nice | 16:30 |
| stgraber | so if I click twice on something in the unity dock, it'll show me all open windows of that software and not all the windows I've opened | 16:31 |
| mhall119 | stgraber: nice | 16:31 |
| highvoltage | bbl (crappy) | 16:32 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: hehe, enjoy ! | 17:12 |
| highvoltage | this is still kind of funny: http://www.youtube.com/user/edubuntuproject?feature=mhum#p/f/28/CFcQpKAcahQ | 18:16 |
| highvoltage | 665 people now like Edubuntu on facebook, nice progress there :) | 18:49 |
| alkisg | Oh. I'm 666 :( | 19:14 |
| highvoltage | unfortunately we can't afford to give you an iPad for that | 19:15 |
| mhall119 | alkisg: yay! you win a vial of Holy Water! | 19:32 |
| mhall119 | careful, it burns | 19:33 |
| highvoltage | we still haven't made a decision regarding kstars vs stellarium | 19:40 |
| highvoltage | stellarium is very slick but is certainly a lot bigger and doesn't work on unaccellerated hardware | 19:41 |
| highvoltage | I don't know where to draw the line and I'm busy editing seed files :) | 19:41 |
| highvoltage | I guess we could just go with Stellarium, and if people want to run on older hardware they can just uninstall it and install kstars? | 19:43 |
| alkisg | Does kstars run with usual LTSP clients? | 19:44 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: yep | 19:44 |
| alkisg | (usual == no 3D acceleration...) | 19:44 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: it even runs on weblive! | 19:44 |
| alkisg | Oooh cool | 19:44 |
| mhall119 | I think both are good, if kstars runs unaccelerated and over LTSP, that's certainly a plus in it's favor | 19:55 |
| mhall119 | IIRC, stellarium will run unaccelerated, but it's frustratingly slow | 19:55 |
