[00:02] <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
[00:09] <jjido> do I need initrd
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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
[00:13] <jjido> HedgeMage: I think I know what I am doing ;)
[00:13] <mhall119> famous last words
[00:14] <HedgeMage> lol
[00:19] <jjido> lol
[08:25] <bluefrog> is nanny working correctly on edubuntu 10.10? on my "normal" ubuntu 10.10 it dosn't prevent a user to log in.
[13:36] <mhall119> highvoltage: how long ago did you apply to join the ubuntu derivative team?
[13:37] <mhall119> nevermind, I see it
[13:40] <highvoltage> k
[14:00] <bluefrog> is nanny working correctly on edubuntu 10.10? on my "normal" ubuntu 10.10 it dosn't prevent a user to log in.
[14:16] <highvoltage> bluefrog: it should work the same on both
[14:17] <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)
[14:18] <highvoltage> our version still matches upstream, at least.
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <bluefrog> going to install edubuntu and I will try to find some differences
[14:33] <highvoltage> ok, it's the exact same package so there shouldn't be a difference, but then again anything is possible :)
[14:44] <bluefrog> then must be something in the OS conf. zsync right now. bye
[15:07] <highvoltage> anyone here used gelemental before?
[15:18] <mhall119> nope
[15:43] <highvoltage> pity there's so many nice programs out there that works nice for a while and then just crashes
[15:43] <Nubae> :-)
[15:56] <highvoltage> Alan Bell: Edubuntu at BETT 2011: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2011/01/24/edubuntu-at-bett-2011
[15:58] <AlanBell> um, yeah
[15:58] <AlanBell> that is me :)
[16:00] <highvoltage> just shared it on identica/facebook/twitter as well :)
[16:01] <AlanBell> nice :)
[16:02] <highvoltage> I'm only 2 minutes in but it's really nice, I'll favoutire it on the Edubuntu youtube channel too
[16:09]  * stgraber still need to watch it
[16:10] <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
[16:25] <stgraber> highvoltage: I'm pretty sure "there's a module for that" (after the "there's an app for that") :)
[16:26] <highvoltage> :)
[16:28] <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 :)
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <stgraber> yep, but having the "scale" effect per software is really quite nice
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <highvoltage> bbl (crappy)
[17:12] <stgraber> highvoltage: hehe, enjoy !
[18:16] <highvoltage> this is still kind of funny: http://www.youtube.com/user/edubuntuproject?feature=mhum#p/f/28/CFcQpKAcahQ
[18:49] <highvoltage> 665 people now like Edubuntu on facebook, nice progress there :)
[19:14] <alkisg> Oh. I'm 666 :(
[19:15] <highvoltage> unfortunately we can't afford to give you an iPad for that
[19:32] <mhall119> alkisg: yay! you win a vial of Holy Water!
[19:33] <mhall119> careful, it burns
[19:40] <highvoltage> we still haven't made a decision regarding kstars vs stellarium
[19:41] <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 :)
[19:43] <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?
[19:44] <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
[19:55] <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
