mhz | gooseuk: hi | 12:15 |
mhz | what's wrong? | 12:15 |
gooseuk | Hey! | 12:15 |
gooseuk | I installed the OS onto a new hard drive on my system to test it, but I can't connect to the internet through the router now | 12:15 |
gooseuk | What information do I need to correctly allow the computer to access the net? | 12:16 |
mhz | hmm | 12:16 |
mhz | let me get this right... | 12:17 |
mhz | you have: Edubuntu on a HD, 1 eth0, 1 router, 1 ISP ? | 12:18 |
gooseuk | yes | 12:18 |
mhz | only 1 ethX? | 12:18 |
gooseuk | I just entered 127.0.0.0 for the ip information on install, it was confusing | 12:18 |
mhz | haaaa | 12:18 |
mhz | no way | 12:18 |
mhz | you did not read Install Notes :D | 12:19 |
gooseuk | nope, I guess I will just try it again in the morning lol | 12:19 |
gooseuk | where are the install notes? | 12:19 |
mhz | ok, let's fix it immediately, shall we? | 12:19 |
gooseuk | sure | 12:19 |
mhz | ok, do you have access to this IRC while we work on the Edubuntu box | 12:20 |
mhz | ? | 12:20 |
gooseuk | Erm, give me two minutes | 12:20 |
mhz | okidoki, however, it is pretty simple | 12:20 |

mhz | okidoki | 12:28 |
mhz | so, first thing, please run a Terminal | 12:28 |
mhz | .oO(maybe there's a GUI way, but I have never used it) | 12:28 |
gooseuk | How do I open a terminal | 12:29 |
mhz | or... At the menu upper bar you should have an option like System or Preferences? | 12:29 |
gooseuk | I do | 12:30 |
mhz | ok | 12:30 |
mhz | the one at the right most side should present you a Network something. Please read me those options | 12:30 |
gooseuk | Erm I don't understand, what option do you want me to open in the preferences menu | 12:31 |
mhz | do not open, just read me thos options that mention 'network' please | 12:31 |
gooseuk | Erm I have found a network settings window | 12:31 |
mhz | ok | 12:32 |
mhz | that one! | 12:32 |
gooseuk | Great :( | 12:32 |
gooseuk | :) | 12:32 |
mhz | that will ask you for password | 12:32 |
mhz | enter the user password | 12:32 |
gooseuk | ::nods:: done | 12:32 |
mhz | ok, there it will show/mention to you eth0. | 12:32 |
mhz | is eth0 Active? | 12:32 |
gooseuk | its active | 12:32 |
mhz | ok, what ip number? | 12:33 |
gooseuk | 255.0.0.0 | 12:33 |

mhz | what other fields are there to be filled in or change on eth0? | 12:34 |
gooseuk | gateway | 12:34 |
mhz | gatway: 192.168.0.1 | 12:35 |
gooseuk | ok now what | 12:35 |
mhz | other fields? | 12:35 |
gooseuk | no other fields | 12:35 |
mhz | ok | 12:36 |
gooseuk | just click ok? | 12:36 |
mhz | besides eth0 tab, are there any other tabs? | 12:36 |
gooseuk | General / DNS / Hosts | 12:36 |
mhz | Can you read me the info on those fields, please? | 12:37 |
gooseuk | General - Hostname: + Domain name: | 12:37 |
gooseuk | DNS - DNS Servers: ADD | 12:38 |
gooseuk | Hosts - ip address + aliases | 12:38 |
alison_ | can anyone help me out with the "next step" after freshly installing edubuntu? I think I need to configure my dhcpd.conf, but I'm not sure what should go in there. | 12:38 |
mhz | alison_: yes we can. gimme a couple of minutes, please | 12:39 |
alison_ | sure. thanks. | 12:39 |
mhz | alison_: however, id you provided a valid ip during install, then nothing else to edit :D just bootup your clients via PXE | 12:39 |
mhz | gooseuk: then we need to set Hostname and DNS | 12:40 |
mhz | hostname is the name you want the machine to be called | 12:40 |
alison_ | I tried, and got an error like: PXE-E11: ARP timeout | 12:40 |
mhz | (i suggest you choose one word) | 12:40 |
gooseuk | rgr done | 12:41 |
mhz | alison_: then i need a little bit of extra info from the install you did | 12:41 |
alison_ | ok | 12:41 |
mhz | gooseuk: now, DNS info. Do you have that? (we can skipt it anyways :D ) | 12:41 |
gooseuk | I don't have it, shoot | 12:42 |
mhz | ok | 12:42 |
mhz | then save those changes you just made | 12:42 |
gooseuk | ok done | 12:42 |
mhz | cool | 12:42 |
gooseuk | internet still not working :/ | 12:42 |
mhz | how do you paln to boot the clients? | 12:43 |
mhz | gooseuk: yes, of course. | 12:43 |
mhz | gooseuk: oooh,, excuse me, Very important question: | 12:43 |
mhz | usually, all clients get internet from the router? | 12:44 |
gooseuk | yes | 12:44 |
mhz | duh! | 12:44 |
gooseuk | through a hub to the router | 12:44 |
gooseuk | Id that a problem? | 12:45 |
mhz | so my guess is that a) you manually assign IPs to each client or b) the router provides IP to each client | 12:45 |
mhz | if it is a) then we are ok by doing this. if it's b) then the router will do it automatically | 12:45 |
mhz | :D | 12:45 |
gooseuk | I installed mandrake before and it could connect to the internet straight away... hmm do you have the link to the install notes? | 12:45 |
mhz | oooh, then the router assigns the IP automatically! | 12:46 |
mhz | hehehehe | 12:46 |
gooseuk | so why doesn't this work then? | 12:46 |
mhz | because we assigned IP manually and did not let the router work :D | 12:46 |
gooseuk | I had tried it before we changed the settings and it still didn't work | 12:47 |
mhz | gooseuk: solution is: go back to Network settings and in eth0 specify "automatic" | 12:47 |
gooseuk | ok, do you have the link for install notes? | 12:48 |
=== mhz seeing wiki | ||
gooseuk | mhz: thanks for your help again, I will have a look at it again in the mornin, going to get some sleep lol | 12:49 |
mhz | http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes | 12:50 |
mhz | gooseuk: if router assigns ip automatically, you need to stop manual ip | 12:50 |
mhz | otherwise it will not work | 12:50 |
gooseuk | how can I stop it | 12:51 |
mhz | assign "automatic" in Network Settings for eth0 and save that config. | 12:51 |
=== mhz actually always does it via command line. that's why he gets confused woth GUI way | ||
gooseuk | whats the command line for it? | 12:52 |
mhz | sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop | 12:53 |
mhz | then... | 12:53 |
mhz | sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 12:53 |
mhz | change 'static' for 'dhcp' in eth0 line | 12:54 |
mhz | then... | 12:54 |
mhz | sudo /etc/init.d/networking start | 12:54 |
mhz | and finally... | 12:54 |
mhz | sudo nano /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf | 12:54 |
mhz | and make sure that matches the IP settings provded by router | 12:55 |
mhz | :) | 12:55 |
mhz | and finally... | 12:55 |
mhz | sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart | 12:55 |
mhz | adn you're ready | 12:55 |
gooseuk | how do i find out if it matches the ip normally given out | 12:55 |
mhz | in a command line environment or terminal | 12:55 |
mhz | write | 12:55 |
mhz | ifconfig | 12:55 |
mhz | that will show you the current settings assigned to eth0 and lo | 12:56 |
gooseuk | ok | 12:57 |
gooseuk | thanks again mhz, will try it in the morning | 12:58 |
gooseuk | night | 12:58 |
mhz | nite | 12:58 |
mhz | alison_: shoot | 12:58 |
alison_ | ok, well I followed that link to the install notes, and I configured my dhcpd.conf. I'm currently fiddling with my client and about to try booting again | 12:59 |
mhz | did you edit /ltsp/dhcpd.conf? | 12:59 |
mhz | or /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf? | 12:59 |
alison_ | I edited /etc/ltsp/dhcps.conf | 01:02 |
mhz | cool | 01:02 |
alison_ | *dhcpd | 01:02 |
alison_ | still the same error | 01:02 |
alison_ | PXE-E11: ARP timeout | 01:02 |
mhz | does it correspond to same current IP in ifconfig? | 01:02 |
mhz | I had same exact error for 19 hours until i saw the problem :D | 01:02 |
mhz | alison_: if IP settings are ok on /network/interfaces and /ltsp/dhcpd.conf then another question: | 01:04 |
alison_ | well, I'm running two ethernet interfaces. eth0 is connected to the switch which goes to the clients. it's setup with a static IP. that's the IP I used in the dhcpd.conf | 01:04 |
mhz | what is there between the server and client. crossover cable? | 01:04 |
mhz | oh, a swithc | 01:04 |
mhz | switch | 01:05 |
alison_ | yup | 01:05 |
mhz | so.. | 01:05 |
mhz | server -> eth0 static -> switch -> clients ? | 01:05 |
alison_ | yes, that's right. | 01:05 |
mhz | can we double check /dhcpd.conf please? | 01:06 |
mhz | could you paste it here? | 01:06 |
alison_ | ok | 01:06 |
mhz | cool | 01:06 |

alison_ | ok | 01:10 |
=== macgyver2 [n=eric@pdpc/supporter/student/macgyver2] has joined #edubuntu | ||
mhz | and change option routers to 192.168.2.1 | 01:10 |
mhz | oh, no wait | 01:11 |
mhz | you don't have a router right? you have a switch? | 01:11 |
mhz | if yu have a switch, then do hange to 192.168.2.1 | 01:12 |
mhz | so that it matches your static IP | 01:13 |
alison_ | I'm connected to a router on eth1, using DHCP, but the switch is going to the clients | 01:13 |
mhz | yes, then it should work. BUT could you please just desconnect the eth1 for this tests | 01:13 |
mhz | ? | 01:13 |
alison_ | sure | 01:14 |
mhz | usually, 2 dhcps running is conflictive | 01:14 |
mhz | and I wanna make sure we are attacking step by step | 01:14 |
alison_ | so I should set the option routers to my eth0 static IP | 01:14 |
mhz | yes | 01:14 |
alison_ | ok | 01:14 |
mhz | now, /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart , of course :) | 01:15 |
mhz | are you sure your static ip is currently 192.168.2.1 ? | 01:15 |
mhz | also, please make sure the /etc/inet.d is pointing to right /dir for /ltsp | 01:16 |
alison_ | ifconfig shows eth0 having "inet addr:192.168.2.1 | 01:17 |

gooseuk | I had to get another 80 GB hard drive for this OS lol | 03:07 |
JohnnyCastaway | Can anyone help with install probs? | 03:07 |
gooseuk | I wish I could help you | 03:09 |
JohnnyCastaway | I have d/led 3 times burned 6 cd's all md5sums checkout used 3 different burners 3 different pc's 2 hd's and cant get past 6% of base install | 03:09 |
gooseuk | What speed are you burning the CDs at? | 03:09 |
JohnnyCastaway | 48 40 32 24 2 1 take your pick...went slower rach time it failed | 03:10 |
JohnnyCastaway | each | 03:10 |
gooseuk | I burnt mine at x8, it burnt well | 03:11 |
gooseuk | What version of the program did you download? | 03:11 |
JohnnyCastaway | Ubuntu works well I just cannot get edubuntu to work | 03:11 |
JohnnyCastaway | <edubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso> | 03:12 |
gooseuk | Weird... | 03:12 |
gooseuk | It could be a hardware issue I suppose | 03:12 |
JohnnyCastaway | I know...AND REALLY PISSING ME OFF | 03:12 |
JohnnyCastaway | Ubuntu burned fine its edubuntu | 03:13 |
JohnnyCastaway | That wont | 03:13 |
gooseuk | I can't understand why it wouldn't work | 03:13 |
JohnnyCastaway | I even used nero then dvd decrypter to burn | 03:14 |
JohnnyCastaway | Im gonna give it 1 last shot on all new equipment | 03:14 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mount/windows | 03:24 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: replace /dev/hda with your windows partition | 03:24 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: replace /mount/windows with where you want to access it | 03:24 |
JohnnyCastaway | I wanna just del my windows partition | 03:24 |
gooseuk | Yagisan: How on earth do I find the floppy drive? | 03:24 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: it's dev/fd0 - but I don't have one - so I forgot where it is mounted | 03:25 |
gooseuk | I have a problem then | 03:26 |
Yagisan | JohnnyCastaway; when you install - you have an option to delete the partions | 03:27 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: as far as I can tell - you can't access the floppys on the clients yet | 03:27 |
JohnnyCastaway | I let it set its own up... | 03:28 |
gooseuk | Yagisan: erm... is there a way around that? | 03:30 |
JohnnyCastaway | Does this have a good assortment of proggies for kids to learn on? | 03:30 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: as yet - no, but check with ogra | 03:30 |
Yagisan | JohnnyCastaway: yes - can you use fdisk ? | 03:31 |
JohnnyCastaway | Its been a while since I have | 03:33 |
Yagisan | JohnnyCastaway: there is an application called cfdisk, you can use that to delete a windows partition | 03:34 |
gooseuk | Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume | 03:35 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: you will need to adjust my example for your specific setup | 03:36 |
gooseuk | What does that mean? Thats the error I get when I double click on the floppy icon | 03:36 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: I think it means can't find floppy drive | 03:36 |
gooseuk | damm, thats going to be a problem | 03:37 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: server ? | 03:37 |
=== macgyver2 [n=eric@pdpc/supporter/student/macgyver2] has joined #edubuntu | ||
gooseuk | yeah this is the server version i am running | 03:37 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: or clients need it ? | 03:37 |
gooseuk | All of the systems need floppy access | 03:37 |
JohnnyCastaway | They do? | 03:38 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: best to speak to ogra about this | 03:38 |
Yagisan | JohnnyCastaway: just for what gooseuk wants to do | 03:38 |
JohnnyCastaway | I havent built a pc with a floppy in years | 03:38 |
JohnnyCastaway | Oh ok | 03:38 |
JohnnyCastaway | Had me worried there | 03:39 |
Yagisan | guys - what arches are you using ? ppc ? amd64 ? i386 ? | 03:39 |
JohnnyCastaway | i386 | 03:40 |
gooseuk | Roger Yagisan, also I have another problem, can I have different menu options for different users | 03:40 |
gooseuk | i386 | 03:40 |
JohnnyCastaway | If I can get it going | 03:40 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: it's a yes but answer too that | 03:41 |
gooseuk | Do you know how to do it? | 03:42 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: are you adding or removing - I know how to add | 03:42 |
gooseuk | Well for the student accounts I want menus removed | 03:43 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: what menus ? | 03:45 |
gooseuk | Admin section in the System menu | 03:47 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: I don't see an option to remove it - unless you are a member of the group admin you can't run it anyway | 03:48 |
gooseuk | Ok great :) | 03:49 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: only first user created when installing the server has admin rights | 03:49 |

gooseuk | This floppy disk issue is going to be a problem :/ | 03:50 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: I'm sure it can be fixed - I think ogra is celebrating the breezy release - he's normally here | 03:51 |
gooseuk | The kids use floppy disks to bring their homework back home and then put them back on the system | 03:51 |
JohnnyCastaway | Get thumb drives | 03:52 |
gooseuk | I hope so... Hopefully you guys can come up with a fix before friday... | 03:52 |
gooseuk | You mean USB drives? | 03:52 |
JohnnyCastaway | Bigger and hot plug supports them | 03:52 |
JohnnyCastaway | yes | 03:52 |
gooseuk | School can't afford them | 03:52 |
JohnnyCastaway | Mommy and daddy can... | 03:52 |
gooseuk | In this case only some could | 03:53 |
JohnnyCastaway | Use a group buy through the school | 03:53 |
JohnnyCastaway | Get a discount | 03:53 |
Yagisan | JohnnyCastaway: not all boxes have usb | 03:53 |
JohnnyCastaway | So much for that idea then | 03:54 |
gooseuk | ::nods:: But again cost is an issue, its an underfunded school, in a underpriviledged area | 03:55 |
JohnnyCastaway | Well than not all will have pc access at home either | 03:56 |
gooseuk | ::nods:: but some do, thats the issue, it still has to have that basic feature, not to mention teachers | 03:57 |
gooseuk | They need that type of access | 03:58 |
JohnnyCastaway | Be back shortly time to pick kids up | 04:00 |
gooseuk | Yagisan: How do I install a internet filter to this client? | 04:01 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: on the system that you installed squid on - install dansguardian | 04:02 |
gooseuk | how do I install dansguardian? | 04:02 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: synaptic - search dansguardian | 04:03 |
gooseuk | Ok I think its installed | 04:06 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: there is documentation is /usr/share/doc/dansguardian | 04:07 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: and here http://dansguardian.org/ | 04:07 |
gooseuk | how do I get there? | 04:07 |
gooseuk | I can't find any thing about dansguardian in any menu | 04:09 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: applications -> Assecories -> File Browser and navigate to /usr/share/doc/dansguardian | 04:09 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: dansguardian is an add on for squid | 04:10 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: it won't have a menu of it's own | 04:10 |
gooseuk | Ok I found the documents for dansguardian? | 04:11 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: hopefully they should be clear about how to configure it | 04:12 |
gooseuk | I can't understand how I can start it etc.. | 04:12 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: squid is installed right ? | 04:12 |
gooseuk | no... | 04:13 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: dansguardian is a webfilter that hooks into squid (the www-proxy) | 04:13 |
gooseuk | Installing as we speak | 04:14 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: it will automatically filter all www traffic that goes through squid - no client configuration required | 04:14 |
gooseuk | ok I installed squid etc | 04:15 |
gooseuk | I even installed a web admin feature | 04:15 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: have a look at the website I listed - it has some useful information on the filter | 04:16 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: cool - you'll hate me now - but I haven't configured squid in a long time so I have to RTFM to tell you what to do now | 04:16 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: I just know what you need to use | 04:17 |
gooseuk | I have a problem I can't access this web admin thing, it is asking for a username and password, I tryied my root username and password and nothing | 04:19 |
gooseuk | Shit, its blocked me now! lol | 04:21 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: sorry, I'm trying to get up to speed with it (last time I used it - it didn't even have web admin) | 04:23 |
gooseuk | Lad, don't worry, you are helping me out alot | 04:24 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: there is a user guide here (450k) http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/latest/book-full.html | 04:27 |
gooseuk | hmm I don't know where to start, I am not sure how to even start it | 04:30 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: squid will automatically start itself on system boot | 04:31 |
gooseuk | So I have to reboot? | 04:31 |
Yagisan | squid should start dansguardian once it has been configured to use it | 04:31 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: no, a sudo/etic/ini.d/squid restart should work | 04:31 |
gooseuk | it says no such file or directory | 04:33 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: typo. sudo/etc/init.d/squid restart | 04:35 |
gooseuk | Still no such file or directory | 04:36 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: should not be a space between sudo and / | 04:37 |
Yagisan | gooseuk: be back soon - need to put little girl to bed | 04:38 |
gooseuk | no problem, but it still doesn't work | 04:38 |
