robehend1is it possible to use the Edubuntu menu-editor to assign different profiles to likewise-open AD groups? e.g. students profile to the DOMAIN\Students, staff to DOMAIN\Staff, etc14:38
highvoltagerobehend1: I don't know for sure, but since it works pretty much like normal groups, it should really be fine. if it isn't, then it should probably get a bug for that14:53
robehend1highvoltage: only issue I'm having is getting them to show up in the gui for profile assignment. only likewise-related one i see is LTSPHOST\Likewise Users14:54
highvoltageah right, because you only see your own groups right?14:56
robehend1correct14:56
robehend1have the same issue with Sabayon, now that i think about it.14:56
highvoltagemgariepy: any ideas? perhaps menueditor could get a custom field for that? sounds like a very common use case :)14:57
robehend1highvoltage: would it make sense to just add the group to the /etc/group file? it looks like that is where the editor is reading from. I'm not sure of the syntax though, since its an AD group, not local15:10
highvoltagerobehend1: I'm not sure what happens if you have groups with backslashes in there, it might work with a bit of trial and error, perhaps you might need to escape a backslash in there, I have no idea but it sounds worth trying15:12
robehend1highvoltage: likewise *does* let you change the domain seperate from a backslash to say, a hyphen. guess i've got an afternoon project15:13
highvoltagerobehend1: I just played around with it, addgroup doesn't allow you to use backslashes, but it does work if you manually put it in /etc/group15:15
robehend1how did you add it. DOMAIN\\Group ?15:15
highvoltageDOMAIN\group15:15
robehend1hmm, alright. now to give it a shot. any services I have to restart after fiddling with that file/15:16
highvoltagethat's how I added it in /etc/group, then I added the user to the group by doing a adduser testuser TEST\\group15:16
highvoltagenope15:16
robehend1you just give it a random number? So it'd be like...DOMAIN\Group:x:8283 or something?15:17
highvoltageI just incremented the last used group ID, but you can choose a higher number too15:17
robehend1hmm. Now to see if its actually using the AD group, or if we just made a group called DOMAIN\Group15:18
highvoltagewell, it won't actually be the AD group, I thought you just wanted it to add users to the group in menueditor?15:19
mgariepyrobehend1, you probably can use desktop-profile with likewise groups15:25
robehend1I'm wanting to be able to assign profiles in menu editor to members of the AD group15:25
robehend1i could be explaining it wrong, as well15:25
mgariepyi guess the simplest way would be to edit the file manually15:25
robehend1the /etc/group file?15:25
mgariepynop, the /etc/desktop-profiles/whatever.listing file15:26
mgariepycan you try to asign the profile to a random group, then edit the file it createsd15:26
robehend1hmm, let me give it a shot15:27
mgariepynot sure how it will react with "\" in group name tho15:27
robehend1well, that can be changed in likewise to be a - or something15:28
mgariepywith ldap it works correctly15:28
robehend1ack, student calls. i'll have to come back to this. thanks though!15:29
stgraberhighvoltage: edubuntu ?19:08
stgraberas in meeting (unless I got mixed up with timezones again)19:08
stgrabermgariepy: ^19:08
mhall119I think it's early for a meeting19:10
highvoltagestgraber: hi!19:10
stgraberok, so got mixed up with the timezones again :)19:10
highvoltagemgariepy I think is in a meeting19:10
stgraberso that's in 50 minutes ?19:10
stgraberjust wondering because I saw that the QA meeting is about to begin and it's usually conflicting with ours + my cell meeting reminder rang 30min ago :)19:11
stgraberoh, and it's 19:11 UTC so I think I'm right ;)19:12
stgraberhighvoltage: can you confirm ? :)19:12
highvoltagethis wednesday kind of snuck up on me19:12
highvoltageyep, it's the right time19:12
stgraberyeah !19:12
stgraber(not that I have anything to say at the meeting anyway)19:12
highvoltageI'm just digging up my tomboy notes so that I can remember what I did the last week :)19:13
stgraberI guess we should switch to -meeting, even if it's to say that we don't have anything to say :)19:13
highvoltagewell, we have some seed changes, kstars has been dropped (in favour of kstars) and there's a bunch of other seed changes too but I don't have them open right now19:14
highvoltageI've been talking to LibreCAD upstream a bit off-list19:15
highvoltagethey are eagre to have it in Edubuntu, they're just finalising logos, etc. then I'll review it for universe19:16
stgraber=> -meeting ?19:16
highvoltaged'oh19:16
macoi think the desktop is in kdepim-runtime because the other akonadi packages are either the lib or the server, but the client and server probably dont have to be on the same system20:25
macothen again, its used to start/stop the server, so id be inclined to put it into akonadi-server20:26
highvoltageah right20:26
highvoltagewe could just hide those menus, but that feels more like covering up the problem than fixing it20:27
highvoltagebut as you said that's kind of hard to avoid since that's how kde upstream works20:27
macoi think it should be possible to make akonaditray a separate package and have the actual kdepim applications depend on it instead of the whole runtime, maybe?20:28
macoer i mean instead of including it in the whole runtime20:28
macolike, to split up that package a bit20:29
highvoltagethat would be nice20:29
macohighvoltage: do you end up with akonadi-server installed too?20:34
maconvm. answer's yes20:35
macokdepim-runtime depends on it20:35
macoyeah...python-kde4 just needs to be broken up so packages can depend on some subset of the kde platform20:35
