[10:06] <bencer> stgraber: highvoltage do you have any idea about this?
[10:06] <bencer> http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,10542.msg43806.html#msg43806
[14:29] <highvoltage> bencer: I believe there are problems with direct rendering that makes that gnome-shell can't run on a thin client
[14:57] <ogra_> highvoltage, hey, i got mail ... "sadly we couldnt deliver your package due to the fact that the bill was not attached to the outside of the box, please contact your customs office"
[14:58] <highvoltage> ogra_: ok, thanks for the update
[14:58] <ogra_> did you put the bill inside ? they might ask me to show it to them
[14:58] <highvoltage> ogra_: I was just about to ask, would they mean the waybill, or the invoice for the product?
[14:59] <ogra_> invoice i guess
[14:59] <highvoltage> ogra_: it was sent as a gift so there's no invoice
[14:59] <ogra_> customs doesnt care about shipment costs ;)
[14:59] <ogra_> but they dont belive the $250 if i dont tell them its true (or you by attaching the invoice)
[15:00] <ogra_> all that mistrust in the world ....
[15:00] * ogra_ will try to find some time tomorrow to go there and pick it up
[15:01] <highvoltage> well, I'm reasonably sure it woudln't contain the invoice (I'll confirm with Pierre-Luc in just a bit), the only other thing we could do is send a seperate letter or something
[15:01] <ogra_> if they require that, yeah ... let me try my luck tomorrow :)
[15:02] <highvoltage> ok.
[15:02] <ogra_> i'm still surprised it took so long ... did they attach it to a goose ?
[15:13] <highvoltage> that might explain it. let us know if they did (and take pictures)
[15:14] <highvoltage> for how long it took I might have well have just taken it to BTS.
[15:21] <ogra_> to give it to jammcq or to scott ?
[15:21] <ogra_> (i dont think i'll make BTS this year)
[15:22] <ogra_> UDS isnt far either though
[15:24] <highvoltage> ah I didn't realise that you won't make it
[15:24] <highvoltage> (:()
[15:25] <ogra_> jammcq is poking me already all the time in PM's
[15:25] <ogra_> trying to convince me
[15:26] <stgraber> ogra_: don't you have frequent flyer points you need to get rid of? :)
[15:26] <highvoltage> good.
[15:26] <ogra_> stgraber, i just did on my last boston trip
[15:26] <highvoltage> because I heard that ogras are susceptable to peer pressure
[15:26] <ogra_> (upgraded to business :) )
[15:27] <highvoltage> ogra_: and even mgariepy gave up his hunting trip for BTS :p
[15:27] <ogra_> hunting ?!?
[15:27] <ogra_> omg
[15:27] <highvoltage> yeah it's something canadians do. they shoot bears and then eat them.
[15:28] <ogra_> so no bear costumes allowed when going to canada ...
[15:28] * ogra_ makes a note
[15:28] <highvoltage> oh no that would be a very, very, very bad idea
[16:54] <mgariepy> ogra_, it's not the season for bear hunting ;) it's more during spring! :P
[18:36] <Laserebeak> hi guys, i've been having problems with a soundcard for almost a week. I've tried asking about it on ubuntu forums but no response(wow i thought the community was one of ubuntu's hugest features) I've even bought a new soundcard, hoping that it would fix the problem, but still my only driver is "dummy output" could someone PLLLLLEEEASE help?

[20:14] <ltspuser_05> hello guys, im trying to put edubuntu serv 64 with 10 thin clients 32 bits in a school and all the clients gets is the IP nothing more
[20:14] <ltspuser_05> have tftpd-hpa and nbd-server configured.
[20:15] <ltspuser_05> how can i boot gpxe the thin client? he just got usb entries, its old i think, that why hes not starting the image
[20:47] <Mauro_> sorry for my english :) the package edubuntu is compatible with Lubuntu?
[21:49] <highvoltage> ma<tab>
[21:50] <highvoltage> ltspuser_05: hey there. how are you currently booting them? pxe from firmware? does it print a pxe version? what kind of hardware are the thing clients?
[21:52] <bencer> highvoltage: any workaround or something for that direct rendering thing i showed you before?
[21:53] <highvoltage> bencer: iirc it's something gnome should fix in gnome-shell. fwiw unity-3d has similar problems.
