| highvoltage | Congratulations to everyone who worked on the 12.04 release! It's now officially released! | 12:06 |
|---|---|---|
| === ChanServ changed the topic of #edubuntu to: Edubuntu 12.04 is out! - http://www.edubuntu.org | When asking questions, hang around for a bit, we're not always at our computers :) | Try WebLive! http://edubuntu.org/weblive | Help out with bugs: http://tinyurl.com/EduBugs | LTSP questions? also try #ltsp | ||
| alkisg | Congrats!!! :) | 12:08 |
| highvoltage | I took the orange home logo out of the secondary heading on the edubuntu.org page | 14:06 |
| highvoltage | it was just looking ugly anyway :) | 14:06 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: :) | 14:06 |
| highvoltage | and I'll probably update the release banner too after things settle down a bit, it could be a bit nicer | 14:06 |

| alkisg | highvoltage: I like the bright edubuntu ltsp background: http://edubuntu.org/sites/default/files/docimages/apps-precise/precise-ltsp-live-full.png | 14:29 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: yes I agonised trying to find a nice background that has enough contrast so that you read the text and that looks simple and elegant | 14:31 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: but the plymouth screen looked good so I recycled the light grey colours for the ldm theme :) | 14:32 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: yoohoo | 15:03 |
| mhall119 | highvoltage: you joined our hangout | 15:03 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: I'm typing in the chat box :) | 15:03 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: almost 2000 edubuntu downloads from my server | 16:36 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: nice! | 16:45 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: I think we should add gnote in 12.10 (or tomboy, at least one good note taking app / desktop wiki) | 17:22 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: around? | 18:48 |
| alkisg | * A disk cloning/storage utility (ala Clonezilla, Fog, Ghost, etc) | 19:00 |
| alkisg | ==> I was talking about that the other day, it's quite easy to do that with ltsp | 19:00 |
| alkisg | And clonezilla has too many shortcomings to be useful :( | 19:01 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: yeah that's what I thought too :D | 19:02 |
| alkisg | * Authentication server (basically, something that provides LDAP/AD functionality) => just as a small starting point, we could again use the ltsp server for standalone machines authentication - all that is needed is ltsp-client over existing local installations | 19:03 |
| alkisg | In the future I want to have all the accounts in linux servers, and VM/rdesktop/winbindd for windows clients | 19:03 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| * highvoltage likes the way that alkisg thinks | 19:03 | |
| alkisg | I think you write good roadmaps :D | 19:04 |
| highvoltage | :) | 19:04 |
| * alkisg is going to miss being at the UDS :-/ | 19:06 | |
| ogra_ | how about BTS then ? | 19:09 |
| ogra_ | (though i'm not yet sure i can come myself) | 19:10 |
| alkisg | My leave of absense for phd comes to an end this summer, so it'll be difficult for me to leave in the middle of the school year | 19:12 |
| alkisg | We should ask them to make it in europe once :) | 19:13 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: oh no, even if they do it in europe? | 19:13 |
| ogra_ | highvoltage, BTS in europe isnt BTS | 19:14 |
| alkisg | Greece has lots of seas :D | 19:14 |
| ogra_ | yeah, but that would be BTG :) | 19:14 |
| ogra_ | (by the greeks) | 19:14 |
| alkisg | Well what if I arranged some greek univ students to do bikini shows? :P | 19:15 |
| ogra_ | or HLTSP | 19:15 |
| ogra_ | (Hellas LTSP) | 19:15 |
| alkisg | Haha | 19:15 |
| ogra_ | (i wouldnt mind greece indeed :) and would even less mind bikini shows ) | 19:16 |
| highvoltage | heh | 19:20 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: I'm interested in your ideas for disk cloning using ltsp stuff. | 19:24 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: what would you use for reading the disks? I know fog/clonezilla uses something else than dd (so that you don't read a whole disk just to get 4GB of data) but I haven't checked to see exactly what yet | 19:24 |
| alkisg | highvoltage: for edubuntu, i.e. ext/btrfs, I was thinking of cloning the fat chroot | 19:26 |
| alkisg | So, mount with nbd, and rsync to local disk, and run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 19:26 |
| alkisg | But it's also possible to have SCREEN_07="clone-master" as well | 19:26 |
| highvoltage | alkisg: interesting | 19:26 |
| alkisg | ...i.e. a script to select which partition to export with nbd, from a fat client itself | 19:26 |
| alkisg | clonezilla unfortunately has bad requirements | 19:27 |
| alkisg | First, it doesn't support cloning to smaller partition | 19:27 |
| alkisg | So if my source partition is 50Gb, and only 5 are used, I can't clone it to a 40 Gb partition | 19:28 |
| highvoltage | ah | 19:29 |
