The deadline by which any software / new packages that introduce new features can be included into Ubuntu is on August 23rd: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule We're wondering if you have put any thought into timelines for this project and whether it's likely that you'll have something ready that we could upload by then. There's no pressure, we're just doing our cycle planning and it would be nice to know. Bug fix uploads are still available after August 23, so it's possible to have a beta/rc version uploaded by then and then a final release shortly afterwards, if necessary. Anyway, thanks for your work, there are many people who will appreciate it! -Jonathan </pre> Jonathan Carter (highvoltage 2012-05-25T14:53:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.edubuntu/3870 <pre>Hi Everyone For this cycle we're looking at which KDE Education packages we ship and whether we need to make any changes, ie: are there any major applications we're missing? or are there some that needs to be replaced? are they all available in the Ubuntu archives? We haven't done this exercise in a while, so this is our KDE Edu checkup that we plan to do at the beginning of every cycle from now on. Here is a comparison of what we have in Edubuntu and what's available upstream: == Preschool Level == http://edu.kde.org/applications/preschool/ PackageShipped ------------------------ BlinkenYes KLettresNo, available in Ubuntu archives PairsNo, unavailable in Debian and Ubuntu == School Level == http://edu.kde.org/applications/school/ PackageShipped ------------------------ KAlgebraNo, available in Ubuntu archives KalziumYes KanagramYes KBruchYes KGeographyNo, available in Ubuntu archives KHangManYes KigYes KitenNo, available in Ubuntu archives KmPlotYes KStarsNo, available</pre> Jonathan Carter (highvoltage 2012-05-25T14:26:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.edubuntu/3868 <pre>I think I've found a bug (might actually be a feature) in LDM. I've been trying to setup a new Fat Client lab, and I've got a ltsp-server build up and running. Authentication on the fat clients with any locally defined users is working, and I setup CentrifyDC for domain authentication. Here's where it gets interesting; I can login as any domain user with a username made of letters (ex. student), but I'm unable to login with a username made of numbers (ex. 99999999). Logging in VIA ssh directly as the number accounts works. The client's ldm.log file didn't have any hints (x session started, followed immediately by x session ended), and the auth.log on the server just says authenticated then disconnecting. The only hint I have is that when I tried to make a local account to test my theory the adduser utility wouldn't allow me to create an all number account. This made sense when I read up on why, but I'm kind of in a bind given that every student in our organization has their student number for their usernam</pre> Matthew Armitage 2012-04-30T21:37:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.edubuntu/3862 <pre>Hi Edubuntu Developers Disclaimer: This is a braindump of my vision for 12.10, it's not official and anything is subject to change == In preparation for UDS Q == With 12.04 LTS freshly out of the door and with UDS just a bit more than a week away, I thought I'd bring up some ideas that I've been thinking about the last few weeks so that it could be discussed publicly. Edubuntu 12.04 is a fine release and our release process was smooth and fine-tuned. We have the process down like a smooth running engine. It's something that we can be proud of and it's great that we've got this far. A few releases back I had a conversation with Jordan Mantha where he basically said that if we don't do big and exciting things, we won't ever attract new developers and community members. I think he has a good point. Since then we've continued to do small, incremental feature changes and in terms of making Edubuntu stable and more reliable, it worked. However, I think it's time that we grow the Edubuntu community </pre> Jonathan Carter (highvoltage 2012-04-26T18:44:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.edubuntu/3861 <pre>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 After 6 months of preparation, it's with great pride that the Edubuntu development team announces today the release of Edubuntu 12.04 LTS. As the first Long Term Support release of the Edubuntu project, this version will be supported for 5 years (until April 2017). The Edubuntu development team will also provide "point releases" in sync with Ubuntu's to offer you new installation medias containing all the latest bugfixes. For this release, we focused on stability and bug fixes to deliver the most stable and best translated Edubuntu release ever.

This card is only for windows 7 and with ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 hangs the computer during installation. Do you know something else?

In particular, in the XDMCP part, it says that local and audio devices won't work, and that this will be solved in a future version of Edubuntu. reference: (http://help.ubuntu-it.org/7.04/edubuntu/handbook/it/ltsp-client. html)" Personally, I was not able to use audio devices when using an LTSP classroom, so I think the answer to sirio81 is "no, it doesn't work". But maybe someone else knows the way to do this.

Should we go ahead and move it to weekly again?

To make that easier, we're trying to limit our dependencies as much as possible. We already got rid of freemind and geogebra to avoid inheriting all of java and it's now time to look at our python packages.
