| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 22:01 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 22:01 |
| th1a | how was your weekend? | 22:01 |
| replaceafill | long | 22:01 |
| replaceafill | i took friday off | 22:01 |
| th1a | I thought so. | 22:01 |
| replaceafill | helped Marcela switching office | 22:02 |
| replaceafill | how was sight seeing? | 22:02 |
| th1a | Good. | 22:03 |
| th1a | There are lots of castles around here! | 22:03 |
| replaceafill | :D | 22:03 |
| th1a | Went to http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/places/propertyresults/propertyoverview.htm?PropID=PL_058 this afternoon. | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | wow | 22:04 |
| replaceafill | nice! | 22:04 |
| th1a | That's just a 30 minute bus ride from here. | 22:05 |
| th1a | So I'm feeling good about OpenVPN, puzzled about what the router issue at the schools might be. | 22:06 |
| th1a | Have no idea how we'd replicate. | 22:06 |
| th1a | (the problem) | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | i guess you discussed the router issue in your last meeting with Sunesh, right? | 22:06 |
| replaceafill | i don't recall talking about it | 22:07 |
| th1a | Yes, but I don't think he understands it in sufficient detail for us to be able to feel sure enough of a solution for them to try it. | 22:07 |
| replaceafill | got it | 22:08 |
| th1a | That is send the IT guy out with instructions we'd be confident of. | 22:08 |
| replaceafill | right | 22:08 |
| th1a | My best guess is that it would work because the vpn connection would be regarded as established, so incoming data would be fine. | 22:08 |
| th1a | Because clearly the firewall is letting some packets in. | 22:09 |
| th1a | So I could keep testing based on that assumption, but I'm not sure that's the exact issue. | 22:10 |
| replaceafill | you're using gufw to set the firewall? | 22:11 |
| replaceafill | firewall rules | 22:11 |
| th1a | I was just using plain old iptables. | 22:11 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:11 |
| th1a | But I need to get up to speed. | 22:11 |
| th1a | Which is probably not worth the time since I won't really know if that's the problem. | 22:12 |
| th1a | David Ally is chatting with me right now. | 22:12 |
| th1a | Jumping into the middle of a question the context of which I know nothing about... | 22:12 |
| replaceafill | about the niepa package? | 22:13 |
| th1a | Oh, I don't even know what he is talking about yet. | 22:13 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:13 |
| th1a | I started an email to Alan. | 22:13 |
| th1a | To see if he's available in the next six months. | 22:14 |
| replaceafill | good | 22:14 |
| th1a | We'll have to decide what the best task for him will be. | 22:15 |
| replaceafill | i suppose it'll be outside ark, right? | 22:15 |
| replaceafill | since we don't know when it's going tohappen? | 22:15 |
| th1a | I guess that's one thing we'd have to determine. | 22:16 |
| th1a | I wouldn't mind having him do some ARK stuff. | 22:16 |
| replaceafill | is there anything left besides fees/income activities? | 22:17 |
| * replaceafill checks the calendar | 22:17 | |
| replaceafill | reports... | 22:17 |
| th1a | Not for the next milestone. | 22:17 |
| replaceafill | oh, attainment | 22:18 |
| th1a | That's presumably just configuration. | 22:19 |
| th1a | I guess I need to ask Sunesh about it though. | 22:19 |
| replaceafill | right | 22:19 |
| th1a | OK, so do you have anything to report? | 22:20 |
| * th1a can't remember our last meeting... Thursday? | 22:21 | |
| replaceafill | yes, a few things | 22:21 |
| replaceafill | last Wed? | 22:21 |
| replaceafill | anyway | 22:21 |
| replaceafill | i set up some new sample data to test the reports | 22:21 |
| replaceafill | 466 students is way too much | 22:22 |
| replaceafill | to check the right numbers are coming out | 22:22 |
| th1a | Just to speed it up? | 22:22 |
| replaceafill | no, to verify the numbers | 22:22 |
| replaceafill | having just a few students by levels is easier | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | by level* | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | like 4-6 students per level | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | and just one day a week | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | just 4 meetings a month | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | etc | 22:23 |
| th1a | OK. | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | question | 22:23 |
| replaceafill | the attendance report by level uses demo information to group | 22:24 |
| replaceafill | Day/Boarding | 22:24 |
| replaceafill | that's currently optional | 22:24 |
| replaceafill | should we make it required or tell the report to skip students with data missing? | 22:25 |
| th1a | Hm. | 22:25 |
| th1a | Let's skip it for now. | 22:25 |
| replaceafill | it's like the blank issue we had in the aggregate reports | 22:26 |
| th1a | That's a tough thing to need to know to enter a person on the system. | 22:26 |
| th1a | Unless we add unknown. | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | i was thinking of adding two extra rows to the report | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | to show the "blanks" | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | Girls Boarder | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | Girls Day | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | Girls (Unknown) | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | or something | 22:26 |
| replaceafill | same for Boys | 22:27 |
| th1a | Uh... | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | so that Total row matches what's in the groups | 22:27 |
| th1a | As usual I'm not looking at what we are talking about. | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | could you open the Sample reports for PEAS spreadsheet | 22:27 |
| replaceafill | i'm talking about the first sheet | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | Ideal School Attendance | 22:28 |
| replaceafill | btw, i also skipped default groups in the request view: | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | http://postimg.org/image/nrfkb6xqz/ | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | makes it a lot simpler | 22:29 |
| th1a | OK, yeah. | 22:30 |
| th1a | I wouldn't add an unknown row. | 22:31 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:31 |
| replaceafill | just not include those students | 22:31 |
| th1a | I still have no idea what David Ally is even talking about. | 22:32 |
| replaceafill | :( | 22:32 |
| *** mibofra has quit IRC | 22:33 | |
| replaceafill | maybe he thinks you're someone else ;) | 22:33 |
| replaceafill | last week i also investigated: https://bugs.launchpad.net/schooltool/+bug/1328980 | 22:33 |
| replaceafill | i saw a variation of it | 22:33 |
| replaceafill | i added a Level column to the same table | 22:34 |
| replaceafill | and sorting acted weird | 22:34 |
| replaceafill | leaving like 4 people out | 22:34 |
| *** mibofra has joined #schooltool | 22:34 | |
| replaceafill | i think the problem is the implicit grouping table formatters have | 22:34 |
| replaceafill | but didn't go deeper | 22:35 |
| replaceafill | during the weekend i verified a couple of bugs nedosa reported on quiz | 22:35 |
| replaceafill | and today i converted/imported some skills for jelkner | 22:36 |
| replaceafill | that's basically it | 22:36 |
| replaceafill | i wish i had the speed/motivation i had the week Sunesh was in Uganda | 22:37 |
| th1a | You'd fry your brain cells. | 22:37 |
| th1a | There is a reason this is the "slack" week. | 22:37 |
| replaceafill | good point | 22:38 |
| replaceafill | did you write instructions on the vpn setup? | 22:38 |
| replaceafill | you had experience with vpn already, right? | 22:38 |
| th1a | I didn't need to write anything new. No real hiccup with https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/openvpn.html | 22:39 |
| th1a | Basically the defaults seem right to me and work fine. | 22:39 |
| replaceafill | so, as you said in the email, central server is the vpn server | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | and each school a client | 22:40 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | the vpn needs different ip's, right? | 22:40 |
| th1a | There was nothing about it that seemed weird. | 22:40 |
| th1a | Uh... | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | i mean | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | if my configuration uses the same addresses of the replication examples | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | (simulating public addresses) | 22:41 |
| th1a | I think the client would change the IP address in zeo.conf. | 22:42 |
| replaceafill | i assume the vpn needs some private addreses | 22:42 |
| *** mibofra has quit IRC | 22:42 | |
| replaceafill | well, i'll better wait for more feedback from Sunesh before testing it | 22:43 |
| th1a | tbh I don't even think it is necessary. | 22:43 |
| th1a | I can double check. | 22:43 |
| replaceafill | ok | 22:43 |
| replaceafill | that's it from me th1a | 22:44 |
| th1a | It seemed to handle connecting and reconnecting very transparently. | 22:45 |
| th1a | Which is important of course. | 22:45 |
| replaceafill | indeed | 22:45 |
| th1a | It is more reliable than the rest of my vm setup. I've got the client running of a USB stick. | 22:45 |
| replaceafill | :| | 22:46 |
| replaceafill | because of disk space? | 22:46 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 22:46 |
| th1a | I got a cheap SSD. | 22:46 |
| th1a | 30g should be enough for anyone! | 22:46 |
| *** mibofra has joined #schooltool | 22:46 | |
| th1a | Maybe not running two OS's... | 22:46 |
| replaceafill | i ordered this one last week: | 22:47 |
| replaceafill | http://amzn.com/B00B4QESVQ | 22:47 |
| replaceafill | my "data" hd has only 20GB left :( | 22:47 |
| replaceafill | 500GB should be enough for storing data... | 22:47 |
| th1a | For your laptop? You don't have a desktop do you? | 22:47 |
| replaceafill | my laptop is my desktop | 22:48 |
| th1a | I'll be happy to get back to my desktop. | 22:48 |
| replaceafill | :D | 22:48 |
| th1a | OK. I'll write some emails now. | 22:49 |
| replaceafill | ok | 22:49 |
| th1a | So you're hoping to get to accounting soon? | 22:49 |
| replaceafill | yes | 22:49 |
| th1a | Once you lay down the basics, we might end up having Alan elaborate on it, since it should be pretty easy to grok. | 22:50 |
| replaceafill | sure | 22:50 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 22:51 |
| replaceafill | ok, thanks th1a | 22:51 |
| * replaceafill goes to get lunch, bb in ~45 | 22:51 | |
