[00:02] 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] do I need initrd [00:10] jjido: 196MB is pretty low [00:10] if you have a standalone video card, you can probably get Qimo or Xubuntu running [00:10] but most apps will still be very slow [00:11] mhall119: Gnome in Ubuntu 6 is quite slow [00:11] jjido: I think it's more complicated than that [00:11] 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] HedgeMage: I think I know what I am doing ;) [00:13] famous last words [00:14] lol [00:19] lol [08:25] 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] highvoltage: how long ago did you apply to join the ubuntu derivative team? [13:37] nevermind, I see it [13:40] k [14:00] 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] bluefrog: it should work the same on both [14:17] 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] (well, we or some other team that might care about nanny) [14:18] our version still matches upstream, at least. [14:19] 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] Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: 2 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/2) [14:20] and I tried it on 2 differetnt machines with the same results [14:20] bluefrog: against nanny? I can't see it on https://bugs.launchpad.net/nanny [14:20] (there's just 4 bugs) [14:20] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706269 [14:21] Ubuntu bug 706269 in nanny (Ubuntu) "nanny does not prevent user loging" [Undecided,New] [14:23] 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] Ubuntu bug 583739 in Nanny "Daemon does not start" [Undecided,New] [14:24] 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] using nanny from the universe repository apparently if it does a difference [14:25] unfortunately nanny isn't very much extensively tested, so any feedback or fixes you can contribute will be appreciated [14:25] ty for anwsering me. have a nice day [14:26] you too! [14:26] ok no problem I will test cause so far the idea is good [14:26] 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] going to install edubuntu and I will try to find some differences [14:33] ok, it's the exact same package so there shouldn't be a difference, but then again anything is possible :) [14:44] then must be something in the OS conf. zsync right now. bye [15:07] anyone here used gelemental before? [15:18] nope [15:43] pity there's so many nice programs out there that works nice for a while and then just crashes [15:43] :-) [15:56] Alan Bell: Edubuntu at BETT 2011: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2011/01/24/edubuntu-at-bett-2011 [15:58] um, yeah [15:58] that is me :) [16:00] just shared it on identica/facebook/twitter as well :) [16:01] nice :) [16:02] 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] 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] highvoltage: I'm pretty sure "there's a module for that" (after the "there's an app for that") :) [16:26] :) [16:28] wow, unity really works well for heavy multi-tasking [16:28] currently have something like 30 different windows open and it's still quite easy to find the right one :) [16:29] 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] yep, but having the "scale" effect per software is really quite nice [16:31] 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] stgraber: nice [16:32] bbl (crappy) [17:12] highvoltage: hehe, enjoy ! [18:16] this is still kind of funny: http://www.youtube.com/user/edubuntuproject?feature=mhum#p/f/28/CFcQpKAcahQ [18:49] 665 people now like Edubuntu on facebook, nice progress there :) [19:14] Oh. I'm 666 :( [19:15] unfortunately we can't afford to give you an iPad for that [19:32] alkisg: yay! you win a vial of Holy Water! [19:33] careful, it burns [19:40] we still haven't made a decision regarding kstars vs stellarium [19:41] stellarium is very slick but is certainly a lot bigger and doesn't work on unaccellerated hardware [19:41] I don't know where to draw the line and I'm busy editing seed files :) [19:43] 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] Does kstars run with usual LTSP clients? [19:44] alkisg: yep [19:44] (usual == no 3D acceleration...) [19:44] alkisg: it even runs on weblive! [19:44] Oooh cool [19:55] I think both are good, if kstars runs unaccelerated and over LTSP, that's certainly a plus in it's favor [19:55] IIRC, stellarium will run unaccelerated, but it's frustratingly slow === jjido_ is now known as jjido === jjido_ is now known as jjido
