[12:06] Congratulations to everyone who worked on the 12.04 release! It's now officially released! === 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 [12:08] Congrats!!! :) [14:06] I took the orange home logo out of the secondary heading on the edubuntu.org page [14:06] it was just looking ugly anyway :) [14:06] alkisg: :) [14:06] and I'll probably update the release banner too after things settle down a bit, it could be a bit nicer === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [14:29] highvoltage: I like the bright edubuntu ltsp background: http://edubuntu.org/sites/default/files/docimages/apps-precise/precise-ltsp-live-full.png [14:31] 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 [14:32] alkisg: but the plymouth screen looked good so I recycled the light grey colours for the ldm theme :) [15:03] highvoltage: yoohoo [15:03] highvoltage: you joined our hangout [15:03] mhall119: I'm typing in the chat box :) [16:36] highvoltage: almost 2000 edubuntu downloads from my server [16:45] stgraber: nice! [17:22] stgraber: I think we should add gnote in 12.10 (or tomboy, at least one good note taking app / desktop wiki) [18:48] stgraber: around? [19:00] * A disk cloning/storage utility (ala Clonezilla, Fog, Ghost, etc) [19:00] ==> I was talking about that the other day, it's quite easy to do that with ltsp [19:01] And clonezilla has too many shortcomings to be useful :( [19:02] alkisg: yeah that's what I thought too :D [19:03] * 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] In the future I want to have all the accounts in linux servers, and VM/rdesktop/winbindd for windows clients === JanC_ is now known as JanC [19:03] * highvoltage likes the way that alkisg thinks [19:04] I think you write good roadmaps :D [19:04] :) [19:06] * alkisg is going to miss being at the UDS :-/ [19:09] how about BTS then ? [19:10] (though i'm not yet sure i can come myself) [19:12] 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 [19:13] We should ask them to make it in europe once :) [19:13] ogra_: oh no, even if they do it in europe? [19:14] highvoltage, BTS in europe isnt BTS [19:14] Greece has lots of seas :D [19:14] yeah, but that would be BTG :) [19:14] (by the greeks) [19:15] Well what if I arranged some greek univ students to do bikini shows? :P [19:15] or HLTSP [19:15] (Hellas LTSP) [19:15] Haha [19:16] (i wouldnt mind greece indeed :) and would even less mind bikini shows ) [19:20] heh [19:24] alkisg: I'm interested in your ideas for disk cloning using ltsp stuff. [19:24] 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 [19:26] highvoltage: for edubuntu, i.e. ext/btrfs, I was thinking of cloning the fat chroot [19:26] So, mount with nbd, and rsync to local disk, and run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc [19:26] But it's also possible to have SCREEN_07="clone-master" as well [19:26] alkisg: interesting [19:26] ...i.e. a script to select which partition to export with nbd, from a fat client itself [19:27] clonezilla unfortunately has bad requirements [19:27] First, it doesn't support cloning to smaller partition [19:28] So if my source partition is 50Gb, and only 5 are used, I can't clone it to a 40 Gb partition [19:29] ah
