| alkisg | Yes, ok | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | Why a blank screen then? | 00:00 |
| alkisg | Gnome-screensaver doesn't have a lot of screensavers? | 00:00 |
| cog | I couldn't access a GUI interface to Gnome-screensaver outside of the system settings, and it had nothing available but a blank screen. | 00:01 |
| alkisg | Hehe I didn't know that, I was using 10.04 last time I checked gnome-screensaver... | 00:06 |
| alkisg | "Just like the previous Ubuntu release, the latest Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have a screensaver by default and it uses a blank screen instead (this is actually an upstream GNOME decision)"!!! | 00:06 |
| stgraber | yeah, we've had a session at the past UDS about re-implementing the missing features of gnome-screensaver, maybe the desktop team will have the time for it this cycle | 00:07 |
| stgraber | that's one more case where Gnome decided something wasn't "useful" (even though people like it) and just dropped it from gnome3 | 00:07 |
| cog | :/ | 00:08 |
| * alkisg has really started wondering if the upstream gnome design team is actually using gnome daily in their pcs... :D | 00:08 | |
| alkisg | E.g. default font has no greek glyphs... we had those for decades now! | 00:09 |
| alkisg | (in upstream gnome, not in ubuntu) | 00:09 |
| cog | I say we all go to v2os :| | 00:09 |
| alkisg | Does that work? | 00:10 |
| cog | They stopped supporting it ~10 years ago... | 00:11 |
| alkisg | Haha the v2_os.iso in sf is fun :) | 00:11 |
| alkisg | "v2_os hasn't crashed yet, press esc to fix that" :D | 00:12 |
| cog | Ha! | 00:14 |
| * alkisg also liked http://sealsystem.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php | 00:14 | |
| alkisg | It supported a full gui with translucent menus etc with just 1 mb ram | 00:15 |
| eterminal | Hello Alkisg are you the guy that installed a lot of schools in Greece | 00:20 |
| alkisg | eterminal: yup | 00:21 |
| alkisg | Why? | 00:21 |
| eterminal | Because i want to install the LTSP and a server | 00:26 |
| alkisg | ...ok but why does it matter that I did a lot of installations? Why not ask your questions in the #ltsp irc channel to see who is available to help you? | 00:26 |
| eterminal | But i want to know of you think that a IBM or SUN server is better for a large scale development | 00:26 |
| alkisg | eterminal: we don't have large scale deployments here, only a lot of little ones | 00:28 |
| alkisg | Join #ltsp and ask there | 00:28 |
| * alkisg heads to bed, 'night all | 00:28 | |
| eterminal | Talking about the support and the performance, cause we can assemble a new computer | 00:28 |
| eterminal | Or buy one for a company. | 00:28 |
| eterminal | I think that IBM offers a special server that supports ubuntu. | 00:29 |
| kleewyck | I just upgraded from 11.10 to edubuntu 12.04 lts and now my LTSP clients no longer have sound. Any ideas? | 02:23 |

| zamba | i love the way my desktop looks when launching edubuntu and the gnome classic profile.. i know this isn't really a edubuntu question, but how do i get the same desktop experience from vanilla ubuntu 12.04? | 19:31 |
| zamba | because that looks exactly like i remembered ubuntu pre all the stupidness with unity | 19:31 |
| zamba | stupidity, rather ;) | 19:31 |
| stgraber | apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 19:37 |
| stgraber | then select the gnome session in lightdm | 19:37 |
| zamba | that's all? | 19:37 |
| stgraber | yep | 19:38 |
| stgraber | that's the only extra package we install for the gnome classic profile in Edubuntu. Selecting the option in our installer only makes the default session be gnome-fallback instead of unity | 19:38 |
| zamba | oh yeah! | 19:39 |
| zamba | thanks a bunch | 19:39 |
| stgraber | np | 19:39 |
| zamba | i've waited months for this | 19:39 |
| zamba | i can finally be productive in ubuntu again :) | 19:39 |
| stgraber | it's been there since 11.10 at least ;) | 19:39 |
| jbicha | it wasn't as nice in 11.10 though :) | 19:51 |
| stgraber | true | 19:51 |
| stgraber | jbicha: speaking of it being nice, what's the status of the SRU? | 19:52 |
| jbicha | well Cimi merged the light-themes patches; I don't know when he'll do a release though | 19:53 |
| jbicha | I think I'll push the GTK change to quantal & precise-proposed this weekend | 19:53 |
| stgraber | cool, thanks | 19:54 |
| stgraber | coming at UDS? | 19:54 |
| jbicha | stgraber: yes but I won't arrive until Wednesday night | 19:55 |
| stgraber | ah, ok | 19:55 |
| zamba | no, it sucked in 11.10, that's why i abandoned it :) | 20:16 |
| zamba | now i feel at home in ubuntu again | 20:16 |
| zamba | finally | 20:16 |
| zamba | thanks a bunch, edubuntu! :) | 20:16 |
| stgraber | it's mostly jbicha you have to thank on that one, we just ship the package ;) | 20:17 |
| tbrown | I need some help on the education ubuntu is this going to be a good download for me to learn the main terminal | 20:20 |
