| maco | highvoltage: riddell & scottk say yes akonaditray can be split off into its own package and not installed by default. so..there's a start | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| highvoltage | maco: ooh, great! thanks for following up on that | 01:34 |
| maco | getting akonadi-server to not be installed would be a great deal more effort though and would require collaboration with debian, so breaking up python-kde4 into being more modular is not going to be happening this cycle | 01:35 |
| highvoltage | for this cycle at least we'll just hide unwanted icons. knowing that it's fixable is at least a good start, knowing that people care enough to work towards a solution in the future is awesome. | 01:37 |
| maco | i should at some point get to know the debian kde packagers | 01:37 |
| highvoltage | sounds like a good thing to do... or even become one? | 01:41 |
| Edencampus | Hi, we got a nice new server at Eden campus. We currently run 10.04 with 32 clients (VXL TC3831) lab. | 10:05 |
| Edencampus | I installed 10.10 amd DVD and the clients now give the error about the kernel and cmov. | 10:05 |
| Edencampus | Error This kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu: cx8 cmov | 10:06 |
| Edencampus | Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. | 10:06 |
| Edencampus | Is there a fix or should we just use version 10.04 for now? | 10:06 |
| alkisg | Afaik there's no fix, you need to use 10.04. Are you using LTSP? How much RAM do those clients have? | 10:14 |
| Edencampus | 512MB RAM. They have been running edudbuntu since about Dapper. LTSP is being run | 10:42 |
| Edencampus | A few have only 256MB Ram | 10:44 |
| Edencampus | I was hoping I could just rebuild or re-configure the thin client image in opt for edubuntu 10.10 | 10:46 |
| Edencampus | the clients use VIA C3 800MHz processors - memory upgraded from 128 MB to 512 or 256 MB | 10:56 |
| Edencampus | Edubuntu 10.10 with via C3 clients - clients unable to boot due to cx8 and cmov kernel requirements - any suggestions? | 11:45 |
| Edencampus | Thanks for the input. Downloading 10.04 now. Pity about the new features in 10.10 - now unusable in many thin client labs. | 12:06 |
| maco | Edencampus: there is nothing to be done about it. i586 is an unsupported architecture these days | 16:21 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: heh, I see global menu is now enabled by default in gnome and the menu is now just the small gnome menu instead of Applications Places System | 21:06 |
| robehend1 | i take it theres still no way to remove the places menu from the gnome menu? that, or my google-fu is seriously lacking recently | 21:09 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: using ubuntu again ? :) | 21:14 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: VM :) | 21:16 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: I'm just wondering whether we should keep that as-is in edubuntu or put it back to the old ways | 21:22 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: not sure, having a delta in the UI is relatively painful for stuff like documentation. I'd need to have a look at what the user experience exactly is with classic desktop on edubuntu and if it might cause issues for our users | 22:28 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: indeed, the way I see it it's basically wheighing the painfulness of UI change for no reason against ... oh you're jabbering me :) | 22:58 |
| highvoltage | oh right, that was about something entirely different | 23:18 |
| highvoltage | painfulness of UI change for no reason against the painfulness of having to maintain a change in default ubuntu | 23:18 |
| stgraber | if we plan on shipping with unity in 11.10, then following that change makes sense, because it'll be a smoother transition for our users | 23:23 |
| stgraber | if we don't, then it's indeed pointless | 23:24 |
