[13:17] <AlecTaylor> hi
[13:18] <AlecTaylor> I've installed the "Tertiary Bundle" from Ubuntu Software Centre (ubuntu-edu-tertiary), it downloaded a heap, but I can't figure out what new stuff I have. What's included?
[13:22] <alkisg> $ apt-cache show ubuntu-edu-tertiary | grep Depends
[13:22] <alkisg> Depends: dia-gnome, inkscape, kalzium, kmplot, kstars, ktouch, kturtle, marble, qcad, step, vym
[13:23] <AlecTaylor> hanks
[13:23] <AlecTaylor> but incomplete
[17:40] <highvoltage> we have an edubuntu meeting today
[17:44] <highvoltage> stgraber: Arkose needs an icon :)
[17:44] <stgraber> highvoltage: doesn't it have one? (same as gnome-run IIRC)
[17:44] <stgraber> Icon=gnome-run
[17:45] <stgraber> but feel free to design a better one ;)
[17:45] <highvoltage> not in edubuntu at least
[17:45] <stgraber> it does on Ubuntu (at least on my laptop)
[17:46] <highvoltage> must be something icon-theme specific though
[18:32] <Damianos> Hi folks. Anybody know how I can retrieve a list of the items in the Gnome Applications menu via ssh?
[18:34] <Hyperbyte> Hrm
[18:34] <Hyperbyte> Gnome classic?
[18:35] <Hyperbyte> If so, see /usr/share/applications/   There are all the .desktop files for the menu
[18:36] <Hyperbyte> Also, in /etc/xdg/menus/ are all the categories defined which you see referred to in the .desktop files
[18:36] <highvoltage> stgraber: arkose should be fine under virtualbox right? It crashes on startup on todays edubuntu build under it.
[18:37] <Hyperbyte> Damianos_, you saw my answer?
[18:37] <Damianos> Hyperbyte: /usr/share/applications is perfect.
[18:38] <Hyperbyte> Okay. :)
[18:38] <Damianos> thanks a bunch
[18:38] <Hyperbyte> Welcome.
[18:39] <Damianos> I'm putting together a gui for accessing some of the Edubuntu classroom management apps from OSX (via ssh + x forwarding)
[18:39] <Damianos> linux is so slick
[18:39] <Damianos> :)
[18:40] <highvoltage> Damianos: nice. would it be something we could share?
[18:40] <stgraber> highvoltage: yep, it should be fine. What kind of crashes are you getting?
[18:40] <Damianos> Yeah, as soon as it's done I
[18:41] <Damianos> I'll be posting it on my web site
[18:41] <Damianos> it's my first foray into coding for the desktop so this should be fun
[18:45] <Hyperbyte> Interesting stuff, Damianos. :)
[18:48] <Damianos> geia sou
[18:55] <alkisg> Geia sou Damianos :)
[18:57] <Damianos> alkisg...I gotta run out for a half hour...you gonna be around?
[18:57] <alkisg> Not sure
[18:57] <Damianos> ok...we'll see then
[18:58] <highvoltage> edubuntu meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in around a minute...
[18:59] <Damianos> You guys should get in touch with the turn-key linux guys and get a nice pre configured ltsp VM available to the public!
[18:59] <alkisg> Installing edubuntu isn't really harder than deploying a vm
[19:00] <highvoltage> it's probably easier :)
[19:00] <highvoltage> (in the edubuntu installer installing LTSP is just one click)
[19:56] <Damianos_> how dependent are the thin clients on the server's own settings? Can I have the server have a tricked out gnome desktop or even no desktop while the thin clients run something leaner like XFCE?
[19:57] <alkisg> You can have multiple desktops in ubuntu, and different users using different desktops
[19:57] <alkisg> But the server should have a desktop for the thin clients to use
[19:57] <alkisg> Fat clients are a different case, the server doesn't even have to have X in that case
[19:58] <Damianos_> so I can have thin clients running XFCE while the server has Gnome or KDE as long as X is running on the server?
[20:00] <alkisg> Not running. Just installed on the server.
[20:01] <Damianos_> even better
[20:04] <Damianos_> I'm trying to customize the environments so all stations can have the best performance while still looking good. I like docky and the fact that it runs real nice even with metacity is great. Students can just rely on the dock for what they need to access for class (these are K through 5 students)
[20:05] <Damianos_> I also just started checking out accessing the server via ssh and X forwarding. Everytime I dig a little deeper into Linux/Unix I love it even more
[20:58]  * Hyperbyte <3 Linux :)
