| [02:47] <crazy_bus> I tried the edubuntu addon disk on kubuntu but it loaded nothing. Is there something I have to do manually? | |
| [02:48] <LaserJock> perhaps | |
| [02:49] <LaserJock> the you might need to ask #kubuntu how to add a CD to your sources.list | |
| [02:50] <crazy_bus> LaserJock: so if I add the cd to my sources list it will work | |
| [02:50] <LaserJock> yeah | |
| [02:50] <LaserJock> the edubuntu addon is basically just a package repository on disk | |
| [02:51] <LaserJock> in Gnome the package installer will automatically find it and open a dialog | |
| [02:51] <LaserJock> but in KDE I'm not sure how to do it | |
| [02:51] <crazy_bus> LaserJock: I though it had a program select gui. Are there just different packages for different things on the cd? | |
| [02:53] <LaserJock> yeah | |
| [02:54] <LaserJock> there is a gui that comes up so you can select what you want | |
| [02:55] <LaserJock> but the CD itself just has all the packages that are needed to install them | |
| [02:56] <crazy_bus> it wants to download 190mb's. Is this normal, as I thought most things would be on the cd | |
| [02:56] <LaserJock> crazy_bus: it somewhat depends | |
| [02:56] <LaserJock> it does assume you've installed Ubuntu, not Kubuntu | |
| [02:57] <crazy_bus> so if I add a ubuntu cd into sources I won't have to download anything | |
| [02:57] <LaserJock> yep | |
| [02:58] <crazy_bus> is the edubuntu legacy package meant to be installed? | |
| [02:58] <LaserJock> how do you mean? | |
| [03:00] <crazy_bus> are you meant to install it on 8.04 to get edubuntu programs. Or is it just for upgrading | |
| [03:00] <LaserJock> yes it's meant to install on 8.04 | |
| [03:00] <LaserJock> though you may not want to install it | |
| [03:01] <LaserJock> it's used to get the set of educational programs that we installed in 6.10 | |
| [03:01] <LaserJock> during 7.04 we split edubuntu into two disks | |
| [03:02] <LaserJock> so that package was used to help people who had used 6.10 or before | |
| [03:06] <crazy_bus> ok I've added the disk. Tried to install edubuntu-addon-kde but it still wants to download things like kalzium off the internet. Is it meant to do this? | |
| [03:07] <LaserJock> hmm, not really | |
| [03:07] <LaserJock> but if packages have been updated since release it might happen | |
| [03:09] <crazy_bus> is there anyway to make a cd which has the newest packages? | |
| [03:09] <LaserJock> you could make a respin | |
| [03:10] <crazy_bus> is that hard to do? | |
| [03:10] <LaserJock> well, not too bad relatively speaking I don't think | |
| [03:11] <LaserJock> I'm not sure if Edubuntu will be included in the 8.04.1 release but that may be something | |
| [03:13] <crazy_bus> thanks for all your answers LaserJock I have to go somewhere now | |

| [08:15] <MrBogus> hello | |
| [15:15] <crazy_bus> I downloaded the ubuntu alt cd so I could install ubuntu-desktop on a computer without internet and thus get edubuntu with the addoncd. However it doesn't seem to be working. Is there any reason why it shouldn't? | |
| [20:52] <mattva01> anyone know what could be causing edubuntu to be running dog-slow ( but with only 1% cpu usage) | |
| [21:04] <mattva01> anyone on? | |
| [21:06] <LaserJock> kinda, but I don't really know the answer | |
| [21:27] <johnny> mattva01, i reverted back to the 2.6.22 kernel | |
| [21:27] <johnny> that helped a bit | |
| [21:29] <mattva01> i'll try that | |
| [23:50] <kingair_six> evening everyone, I got a problem here with my themes. I cant activate emerald themes just by clicking on them, neither can I put my visual effects on normal (from disabled), any thoughts on that? | |
