| jelkner | and i must advise you to be persistent and not let it slide | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pcardune | no problem | 00:00 |
| pcardune | do they still do direct deposit? | 00:00 |
| jelkner | the buracracy in aps is much more challanging than dealing with cic | 00:00 |
| jelkner | i hope | 00:00 |
| jelkner | we can ask chris | 00:00 |
| pcardune | ok | 00:01 |
| jelkner | ok, do you know what mitchell will be doing in the next week? | 00:01 |
| jelkner | well? | 00:01 |
| ffsnoopy | yeah, i know what im doing | 00:02 |
| jelkner | cool | 00:02 |
| ffsnoopy | we discussed it a few days back | 00:02 |
| jelkner | pcardune: do you think we can be ready by next tuesday to read the Data.fs? | 00:02 |
| pcardune | We can shoot for that | 00:03 |
| jelkner | great! | 00:03 |
| jelkner | ok, let's call it a day, then | 00:04 |
| pcardune | I can give you a better estimate once i learn more about the problem | 00:04 |
| th1a | pcardune: A question... | 00:04 |
| pcardune | th1a: yep? | 00:04 |
| th1a | How far along is the web interface in CanDo2006? | 00:04 |
| pcardune | th1a: not very unfortunately | 00:05 |
| pcardune | th1a: I don't work nearly as much and as efficiently as stephan :) | 00:05 |
| th1a | That's fine. | 00:05 |
| th1a | I'm actually going to mutilate the gradebook interface to do some end of the semester assessments up here. | 00:06 |
| th1a | But I wasn't sure if I could do the same thing more elegantly with CanDo yet. | 00:06 |
| pcardune | yeah, not yet | 00:07 |
| jelkner | ok, i need to run | 00:07 |
| jelkner | thanks! | 00:07 |
| jelkner | cya next week | 00:07 |
| th1a | bye jelkner. | 00:08 |
| pcardune | bye all | 00:08 |
| ffsnoopy | cya | 00:08 |
| th1a | Bye. | 00:08 |

| th1a | srichter: Still there? | 05:10 |
| th1a | I just remembered what I wanted to tell you. | 05:10 |
| srichter | if it is short, otherwise I am off to bed | 05:14 |
| srichter | th1a: pong | 05:14 |
| th1a | For discrete score systems (not ranges) we should use drop-downs. | 05:14 |
| th1a | In the gradebook. | 05:15 |
| th1a | That's the only issue I found. | 05:15 |
| srichter | yeah, you are right | 05:15 |
| th1a | That shouldn't be hard. | 05:15 |
| srichter | except that we shoudl do it right an implement a widget | 05:17 |
| th1a | Whatever you say, chief. | 05:17 |
| srichter | ok, I am off to bed | 05:17 |

| srichter | no | 20:04 |
| *** jinty has quit IRC | 20:05 | |
| th1a | srichter: OK, I guess I can fake it. | 20:21 |
| th1a | i.e., just hard-wire what I need. | 20:21 |
| *** jinty has joined #schooltool | 20:23 | |
| srichter | I am sorry, but I need to do some research before I leave and I am in transite all Friday | 20:24 |
| th1a | I couldn't remember when you were leaving. | 20:24 |
| th1a | It isn't a big deal. | 20:24 |
| th1a | This is the kind of programming I'm good at. Cheap hacks to get something to work in one specific case. | 20:25 |
| th1a | Without having to understand much about the underlying system. | 20:25 |
| th1a | jinty: Do you know anything about using chroots? | 20:26 |
| srichter | what we really want is a score field with a score widget | 20:26 |
| srichter | very similar to the score system one | 20:26 |
| jinty | th1a: I hope so | 20:26 |
| th1a | I've been stuck because bskahan set up these chrooted schooltool servers on www.schooltool.org, and I can't figure out how to control them. | 20:27 |
| jinty | th1a: how do you want to control them? | 20:28 |
| th1a | And bskahan has fallen off the face of the earth. | 20:28 |
| th1a | Start them, stop them... | 20:28 |
| th1a | The init scripts in the chroots don't seem to do anything, | 20:28 |
| th1a | and I can't figure out if they're even called on boot. | 20:28 |
| th1a | It doesn't look like it. | 20:28 |
| jinty | normally, you have to as root go 'chroot /ssss /etc/init.d/xxx start' | 20:29 |
| th1a | what if I chroot in the the chroot and do /etc/init.d/schooltool start ? | 20:30 |
| jinty | yeah, that's probably a better idea | 20:30 |
| th1a | Yeah. Nothing happens when I do that. | 20:30 |
| th1a | I just get a fresh bash prompt. | 20:30 |
| jinty | but you should really write a script to do that kind of thing from the top level | 20:30 |
| th1a | It doesn't seem like the init script is right. | 20:31 |
| th1a | Yes. I think this wasn't really finished. | 20:31 |
| jinty | have a look in /etc/default on the chroot | 20:31 |
| jinty | where are they on the machine | 20:31 |
| jinty | ? | 20:31 |
| th1a | They are in /var/chroot | 20:32 |
| jinty | and that init script? | 20:33 |
| th1a | Whoops. /var/chroot/fhs/etc/init.d/schooltool | 20:34 |
| jinty | well, in the chroot there is no /etc/default/schooltool, so the daemon is disabled | 20:36 |
| jinty | probably there was a reason for that | 20:36 |
| th1a | Ah. | 20:36 |
| th1a | Well, at this point, I'm beyond trying to divine the original intent, and just need this to run. | 20:36 |
| jinty | if you go into the chroot, can you see if a schooltool package was installed? | 20:37 |
| th1a | It is in /opt/schooltool in the chroot. | 20:38 |
| jinty | weee, what fun!!! | 20:38 |
| th1a | I really have to go, unfortunately. Thanks for taking a look at this jinty. Could you let me know how much would be involved in getting this running properly? | 20:39 |
| jinty | looks like just an un-packed tarball. | 20:39 |
| th1a | Yes. | 20:39 |
| th1a | I needed this one to be from svn. | 20:40 |
| jinty | Hmmm, on a machine where I have no idea how it was setup... | 20:40 |
| th1a | We can scrap the current chroots. | 20:40 |
| th1a | OK... I REALLY have to go. If you could fix this for $$$ before Monday, let me know. | 20:41 |
