[12:06] <highvoltage> Congratulations to everyone who worked on the 12.04 release! It's now officially released!
[12:08] <alkisg> Congrats!!! :)
[14:06] <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
[14:29] <alkisg> highvoltage: I like the bright edubuntu ltsp background: http://edubuntu.org/sites/default/files/docimages/apps-precise/precise-ltsp-live-full.png
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <highvoltage> alkisg: but the plymouth screen looked good so I recycled the light grey colours for the ldm theme :)
[15:03] <mhall119> highvoltage: yoohoo
[15:03] <mhall119> highvoltage: you joined our hangout
[15:03] <highvoltage> mhall119: I'm typing in the chat box :)
[16:36] <stgraber> highvoltage: almost 2000 edubuntu downloads from my server
[16:45] <highvoltage> stgraber: nice!
[17:22] <highvoltage> stgraber: I think we should add gnote in 12.10 (or tomboy, at least one good note taking app / desktop wiki)
[18:48] <highvoltage> stgraber: around?
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <alkisg> And clonezilla has too many shortcomings to be useful :(
[19:02] <highvoltage> alkisg: yeah that's what I thought too :D
[19:03] <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]  * highvoltage likes the way that alkisg thinks
[19:04] <alkisg> I think you write good roadmaps :D
[19:04] <highvoltage> :)
[19:06]  * alkisg is going to miss being at the UDS :-/
[19:09] <ogra_> how about BTS then ?
[19:10] <ogra_> (though i'm not yet sure i can come myself)
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <alkisg> We should ask them to make it in europe once :)
[19:13] <highvoltage> ogra_: oh no, even if they do it in europe?
[19:14] <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)
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <ogra_> (i wouldnt mind greece indeed :)  and would even less mind bikini shows )
[19:20] <highvoltage> heh
[19:24] <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
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <alkisg> clonezilla unfortunately has bad requirements
[19:27] <alkisg> First, it doesn't support cloning to smaller partition
[19:28] <alkisg> So if my source partition is 50Gb, and only 5 are used, I can't clone it to a 40 Gb partition
[19:29] <highvoltage> ah
