Hi all, Has anyone tried http://italc.sf.net/wiki/ ? Looks very interesting. I'm planning to use it in my Linux class.

[opensuse-edu] Some suggestions
by Kirill Kirillov 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Greetings! 1. It's good that there is the last version of StarDict, but may be you include also its word sounds and GPL dictionaries. 2. I'm glad to see wxMaxima and Octave, but may be you include also Scilab (program for numerical computations with own GUI) as to me it's better than Octave. 3. Gperiodic (periodic table of elements) and Little Wizard (programming for children).

Hello everyone, Just after going to meet his new baby girl, our lead packager Lars Rupp. Offered me this good news, the birth of our own child the "EDU-CD" . the name is a little confusing it's status is alpha 1 , but it is built for openSUSE 10.3 alpha4 (it's also 10.2 compatible) give it a whirl. http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/openSUSE-Education-Alpha4-Addon.… I would like to discuss it and any further ideas about our education offerings soon. The general concensus for meetings with the openSUSE devs is: 1400 GMT Boston (U.S.A. - Massachusetts) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 10:00:00 AM UTC-4 hours EDT Frankfurt (Germany - Hesse) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 4:00:00 PM UTC+2 hours CEST Chicago (U.S.A. - Illinois) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 9:00:00 AM UTC-5 hours CDT London (U.K. - England) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 3:00:00 PM UTC+1 hour BST Corresponding UTC (GMT) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 14:00:00. or 1700 GMT Boston (U.S.A. - Massachusetts) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 2:00:00 PM UTC-4 hours EDT Frankfurt (Germany - Hesse) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 8:00:00 PM UTC+2 hours CEST Chicago (U.S.A. - Illinois) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 1:00:00 PM UTC-5 hours CDT London (U.K. - England) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 7:00:00 PM UTC+1 hour BST Corresponding UTC (GMT) Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 18:00:00 These times are either morning to mid-day for all or after work for many of the Europeans and during the middle of the day for the US participants. If there is a desire for an afterwork US meeting without the "devs" I would like to talk about that too. As Lars is of utmost importance to this project. I'd like for him to let us know on what date he is ready to proceed....new father sleeplessness and all. I'm hoping for the 14th in the IRC chat room opensuse-edu(a)freenode.net I eagerly await Lars's responce to when he is available so that I may decide. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Novell CNE 3\4\5 CLE \ NCE in training. http://en.opensuse.org/education -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] ITALC segmentation fault
by Fajar Priyanto 16 Jun '07

16 Jun '07

Hi all, Finally I'm setting up Italc on my two notebooks with Opensuse10.2. I follow the Install instruction from the INSTALL file: 1. Install the RPM: italc-1.0.2-14.1.i586.rpm italc-client-1.0.2-14.1.i586.rpm italc-master-1.0.2-14.1.i586.rpm 2. Generate the keys: ica -role teacher -createkeypair 3. Copy the /etc/italc/keys/public to the client notebook. 4. Start 'ica&' in client 5. Start 'ica&' and 'italc' in master 6. Setup class in Italc. Connect. Everything shows up! Wow. I can see the screen of the client from master. But then the problem arises: 1. When I choose "Demo screen" on master, the screen on the client goes blank with a window "Connecting to Italc at 192.168.1.101" (my master IP). It stays this way until I cancel the demo screen in the master. 2. Then after that, everytime I start Italc on the master, Italc immediately crashes with segmentation fault. Is there something I miss? How can I troubleshoot it? I think Italc is really-really good, hopefully the problem can be overcome. Thank you very much for any help. PS. I'm using wireless access to connect from master to client. And I'm using beryl on the master. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 9:43am up 1:10, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

[opensuse-edu] Linux School Curriculum
by Michael Eicks 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hi, I just found your project and subscribed immediately. It seems, we have the same goals, but we focus on different products. I'm writing a school curriculum for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. Two of three books are already finished. More information about these school books, you can find at http://www.novell.com/partners/training/academic/sled.html Maybe we can work together? Let's think about it!
