=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-classroom to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Classroom - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom || Support in #ubuntu || Upcoming Schedule: http://is.gd/8rtIi || Questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat || Current Session: Lernid Application Testing for 12.04 - Instructors: jsjgruber
ClassBotLogs for this session will be available at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/04/12/%23ubuntu-classroom.html following the conclusion of the session.22:59
jsjgruberOK, we'll begin in a minute.23:01
jsjgruberFirst, please get your system up to date using the update-manager, or23:02
jsjgruberby running the following in a terminal.23:02
jsjgrubersudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade23:02
jsjgruberPlease speak up in #ubuntu-classroom-chat when you are upgraded.23:02
jsjgruber.23:02
jsjgruberWhile we are waiting, let me mention that Ubuntu Open Week is happening23:02
jsjgruberfrom May 2 to May 4. App Developer week is happening April 17 - 19, and23:02
jsjgruberthere's an Ubuntu Algorithm session this coming Friday. Please23:02
jsjgruberconsider joining us.23:02
jsjgruberWho is with us this evening?23:04
pleia2o/23:04
JoseeAntonioRo/23:05
jsjgruberJoseeAntonioR, the problem is that we will be using apt-get to install the new version. I guess we can just to the update and try to just install lernid without everything else. I don't think it matters that not everything else is updated if the ISO you are using is just a few days or even weeks old.23:08
jsjgruberPlease feel free to speak up here if you want.23:10
jsjgruberFirst on our agenda is testing a new ubuntu version of lernid for precise. If23:10
jsjgruberyou aren't yet running precise, but are using natty or oneiric,23:10
jsjgruberplease follow us through the first couple of steps and we'll see23:10
jsjgruberif we can  test an even newer lernid package in a while.23:10
jsjgruberIf it's only the three of us, though we should be all set.23:10
jsjgruberIt's easier to test software that's already in Ubuntu, but I don't like23:10
jsjgruberto have software there that already hasn't been tested from somewhere else23:10
jsjgruberby at least a few people.23:10
jsjgruberTherefore we will be using a lernid version built for Ubuntu that's in one of my23:11
jsjgruberrepositories. If we are successful we will propose it for merging with23:11
jsjgruberubuntu within a couple of days. Before we install the new ubuntu lernid version23:11
jsjgruberlet's make sure we have some software that will make switching versions much23:11
jsjgrubereasier. Although much of this can be done using the Ubuntu Software Center23:11
jsjgruberlet's start a terminal and do this that way. It will be handy to start Lernid23:11
jsjgruberfrom a terminal later anyway so we can look for any error messages.23:11
jsjgruberWe can use a lernid terminal window for this, too, but I think both of you might be using terminal windows, anyway, no?23:12
pleia2yep23:12
JoseeAntonioRYes23:12
jsjgruberok23:13
jsjgrubersudo apt-get install python-software-properties ppa-purge23:13
jsjgruberWe'll use these for switching to the new ppa and its software, and then for going back.23:13
JoseeAntonioRUnable to locate package ppa-purge23:14
pleia2it's in universe, so you'll need that enabled23:14
JoseeAntonioRGreat to mention that, I'll do it now23:14
jsjgruberYep, I think I had to enable universe every time I used an ISO23:15
jsjgruberWe'll need universe for lernid, anyway, that's where it lives.23:15
pleia2done23:16
JoseeAntonioRI'll be ready in 2 means23:16
JoseeAntonioRmins*23:16
jsjgruberCool, JoseeAntonioR23:16
JoseeAntonioRDone23:17
jsjgrubergreat, now--23:17
jsjgrubersudo add-apt-repository ppa:jsjgruber/test-lernid-ppa23:17
JoseeAntonioRdone, and installing lernid.23:18
jsjgruberYou may have to do a sudo apt-get update first, I'm not sure, but that's the idea23:19
pleia2yeah23:20
jsjgruberI tried it and you do have to do sudo apt-get update and then can do sudo apt-get install lernid and get the new version.23:21
jsjgruberpleia2, did it work for you? We are looking for version 0.8.2.2ubuntu2.23:21
pleia2Setting up lernid (0.8.2.2ubuntu2~testlernidppa2) ...23:21
jsjgruberexcellent, pleia223:22
JoseeAntonioRThat's the one I got23:22
jsjgrubergreat23:22
jsjgruberIt's time to start lernid up. I'd suggest starting it from your terminal window with the -v option so you can keep an eye23:22
pleia2just one -v ?23:23
jsjgruberon the output for errors like Tracebacks. Just one -v is what I usually use.23:23
pleia2defaulting to the spanish classroom23:24
JoseeAntonioRExactly23:24
jsjgruberOnce you select the english one it should default to that, as you suggested.23:24
jsjgruberWell, sort of.23:25
pleia2looks good so far23:25
jsjgruberAre you both  connected with the new Lernid, now?23:25
pleia2yes :)23:26
jsjgruberJoseAntonioR, are you with us on lernid?23:26
pleia2talking over in -chat23:27
JoseeAntonioRYep, I am23:27
JoseeAntonioRGreat, so instructors+helpers+voiced will be.23:28
jsjgruberJoseeAntonioR, JoseAntonioR you should see pleia2 be added to our event's instructors in the schedule. Do you see it?23:30

pleia2yep :)23:30
JoseeAntonioRjsjgruber: Yep, I do23:30
pleia2hehe, Classbot saw the change too23:30
ClassBotLogs for this session will be available at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/04/12/%23ubuntu-classroom.html following the conclusion of the session.23:30
jsjgruberI was wondering what happened. I couldn't test with classbot.23:31
pleia2I have a test classbot running with the same code, we can talk later about getting you more access23:32
jsjgruberlernid doesn't react with a session change unless the session uid changes or the end time comes.23:32
jsjgruberpleia2, excellent23:32
jsjgruberhttp://launchpad.net/lernid is the site for lernid. This should bring it up in the session tab.23:38
JoseeAntonioRWell, for me it brings the Classroom wiki23:38
jsjgruberdid it come up?23:38
pleia2yep23:38
JoseeAntonioRYep23:38
jsjgrubergood. I'll bring up a slide.23:39
jsjgruber[slidefile https://sites.google.com/site/gruberdocuments/engineering-docs/lernid-test-slides.pdf 2]23:39
JoseeAntonioRYep, slides working. I see Lernid Test, page 223:39
jsjgruberA simple slide should come up next to the lernid web page.23:39
pleia2yep (and oops, I totally didn't get back to you about providing sample slides, sorry!)23:40

jsjgruber[slide 4]23:40
JoseeAntonioRGreat, works fine.23:41
jsjgruberAnybody see any problems? Anything show up in the terminal window?23:41
pleia2nope, and it was even clever enough to open the slides in my already running chrome session23:42
pleia2Created new window in existing browser session.23:42
pleia2:D23:42
JoseeAntonioRI got some errors now, when clicking the Open in External Window button23:42
pleia2(when I clicked "open in external browser:)23:42
jsjgruberThat's been a feature since last August, actually. I don't think many instructors use slides.23:42
jsjgruberWhat errors?23:42
JoseeAntonioRhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/92569023:43
jsjgruberThat's ok. That's a known precise problem happening down in the guts. Doesn't seem to cause a problem other than the error messages.23:44
jsjgruberAnything else?23:44
JoseeAntonioRCan I test something?23:44
jsjgruberok23:45
JoseeAntonioR_Abc23:45
JoseeAntonioRYep, doesn't bold unregistered voiced23:45
pleia2"Slides have been downloaded" note is lingering on the bottom left23:45
jsjgruberyep, it's particular. That's why it's important to track schedule changes.23:46
jsjgruberpleia2, I think that may be fixed in the next upstream version. Ready to try it?23:46
pleia2sure23:46
jsjgruberJoseeAntonioR, you ready to try the next lernid version?23:46
JoseeAntonioRYep, I am :)23:47
jsjgruberlet's quick out of lernid and we'll remove the old ppa, then we'll add a new one.23:47
jsjgruberTo bring your system back the way it was--go back to a terminal and23:48
jsjgrubertype:23:48
jsjgrubersudo purge-ppa ppa:jsjgruber/test-lernid-ppa23:48

JoseeAntonioRwith the -v option?23:52
JoseeAntonioRI launched it, not from terminal, and crashed23:53
pleia2I'll pastebin23:53
JoseeAntonioRalso launched from terminal, and crashed23:53
pleia2http://paste.ubuntu.com/925697/23:54
JoseeAntonioRhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/925699/23:54
pleia2at least it's consistent :)23:55
jsjgrubersame one. It is in the remember the classroom patch. Let me think if we can finesse this so we can test some more rather than giving up23:56
JoseeAntonioROk23:56
jsjgruberCan we use an editor like vi on  ~/.cache/lernid/config    ?23:57
pleia2yeah23:58
JoseeAntonioRok, I'm on it23:58
jsjgruberwe need to add the line:23:59
