ograsven-tek, yes, thanks... 12:16
sven-tekthats good, i had to leave so i told the team to send it12:17
ograsorry, havent answered yet, busy day today12:18
sven-tektoday a teacher asked if he can tell about his experiences with linux in schools - but i think he uses skole linux12:18
viatorwheres a good place to find network boot floppy12:19
ogramost likely...12:19
mhzsven-tek: skole linux, edubuntu, edulinux.. whatever input is a start for other people to see gnulinux on education is a wise alternative12:19
ograviator, http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/BootingClientWithoutPxe12:21
ogra:)12:21
viatorthere is no os on this box right now  but i know its a linksys lne100tx im not sure which rom to pick i can guess i guess12:28
viatorits tulip12:28
ograi'D guess so12:28
crimsunyep, tulip12:29
ogra(that you can guess)12:29
viatorbut theres a bunch of em12:29
crimsunI have a bunch of those nics in another box12:29
sven-tekbevore we got that offer to use the unperfekthaus in essen, my idea was to go to schools and promote linux there. So i think linux in schools is very important, you guys are doing an important job.12:29
viatortheres one that says rl100tx12:30
viatorgotta be it12:30
ograsven-tek, absolutely... 12:32
viatorwhats the best fromat to choose for the floppy? .zdsk or .ispo  i thought floppy images where .img? lol12:34
ograi'm not really familiar with etherboot ... Yagisan could tell ...12:35
viatoryour servers are pretty quick im downloading the edubuntu iso @ about 200 kb/s12:36
ogracool :)12:37
viatori figured it out .zdsk12:37
viatorthen cat eb-5.4.1-tulip.zdsk > /dev/fd012:39
=== ogra would use dd ... but cat might work as well
viatordd if=bootfloppy.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync ; sync    like that?12:41
ograyup12:41
viatorlol now all i need to do is find some floppies i only have one laying around that ive written to like a million times 12:43
ograheh, i know that prob12:43
viatorsound is a pin in the arse  right?12:43
viatordont really need it on these anyway12:44
ograits not implemented yet...12:44
viatoryeah i remember when i messed with ltsp on debian12:44
ograso you'd have to set up something like nas or esd over network12:44
viatorcan you boot from a wirless card?12:45
ograbut all current solutions are ugly and not really the last in safety12:45
viatorusing a cdrom or somthing12:45
ograif you find a bootrom for it, yes...i heard of wlan cards that can do that, but havent seen one myself yet12:45
viatori guess theres a wireless_ltsp  boot floppy12:51
viatori asked on #ltsp12:51
ograyes, i see it..12:51
ograbut that means you boot the kernel fro the floppy... could get hairy, breezy ltsp needs 2.6.12 ...12:52
ograbut try it, probably it works...12:53
viatoryeah the wirless  stuff is on here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17723..section01:01

mhzhmmm, I wonder if running Edubuntu server, and on top of that I use PearPC, and on top, I run a licensed OSX, Will I be ilegally using OSX on many clients?04:07
dabaRJaneW: Yes, thank you, I got logged in.(This message in reply to when you asked about whether I am sorted now(in reply to your previous enquiry, if you prefer to be formal:))04:23
dabaRI think Edubuntu has a great set of icons.04:27
dabaRI was thinking, at universities, they have usually intro to computers courses, and in Windows, plus the stuff they teach them is too easy even for that course. We need a intro to computers - Linux.04:29
crimsuninterestingly enough, they teach intro to computers courses at my university on Digital UNIX, heh04:33
crimsunpretty much everything is UNIX- or Linux-based04:34
dabaRReally?04:35

mhzcorvax: just reboot your clients already set to boot via PXE in Bios05:54
mhzcorvax: and be sure you /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf is correct05:54
corvaxi ran the ltspconfig to see what was up and it showed dhcp wasnt running05:55
mhzcorvax: afaik, you should run nothing. it all should work out of the box if you followed InstallNotes on the wiki05:55

corvaxit asked for my ip i gave it to it05:56
mhzdid you also read Install Notes?05:56
mhzcorvax: what ip you provided?05:56
corvax192.168.1.10205:57
mhzcorvax: ok, now see /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and make sure your network settings correspond to the real one05:58
corvaxok05:59
corvaxnope06:00
mhz?06:00
corvaxit looks like a default06:00
corvaxyou have place for paste06:01
mhzso, replace values to match real ones06:01
mhzhere06:01
mhzshoot06:01
corvaxwell it has 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0  etc06:02
mhzthat is incorrect then06:02
corvaxso i need to replace all 0's with ones06:02
mhzyes06:02

mhzoption routers Are you sure there's another router with that ip?06:08
corvaxmy routers has the ip 192.168.1.106:09
corvaxwhich is the default gateway06:09
mhzok, then06:09
corvaxthat option is for extra router?06:10
mhzif you have a server + router + clients06:10
mhzit is most likely router will stop you dhcpd from server becaus emost routers have dhcp in them06:10
corvaxyes servers is connected to a router and the router one port is connected to a switch06:10
corvaxand clients connected to switch06:11
mhz(at least that happened to me until i got a switch and all got well)06:11
corvaxwell ill  just hook it to the switch06:11
corvaxno prob06:11
mhzok06:11
mhzthen /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart and let's see06:12
mhzreboot a client :D06:12
dabaRSo the ltsp is enabled by default on all versions of Ubuntu, right?06:12
mhznop06:13
mhzonly in Edubuntu06:13
dabaRDoes it come with the desktop? no, right? The whole thing has to be an Edubuntu install.06:13
mhzyep06:14
mhzunless you wanna do it all manually :)06:14
dabaRAnd, you just network a computer onto your Edubuntu, and make it boot from that PXE thing you said above, make a small config tweak, and it works?06:15
corvaxi have no dhcpd in /etc/init.d/06:15
mhzdabaR: yes06:15
mhzcorvax: are you sure you installed Edubuntu and not just Ubuntu?06:15
corvaxYES06:16
corvaxlol06:16
corvaxim new  but not THAT new06:16
dabaRnice, Ive wanted to try ltsp for a while now. I think ever since I learned about Unix in the first place, cause where I learned about it they had some setup like that.06:16

Yagisanyes, I remember that07:04
mhzonce I did not use the router, edubuntu worked perfectly07:04
mhzso, we are trying to 1st see if edubuntu runs07:04
mhzonce we know that, he can move on with local net settings07:05

ballI'm not familiar with Telkom, but I get the gist.09:07
ballrouters generally suck, and I'm not that keen on integrated modems.09:09
ballIf the modem breaks, you have to throw away a perfectly good router.  If the router breaks... I'd prefer a router with a PC-Card or Cardbus slot so that I could pop in whatever interface suited my needs that year.09:12

Yagisanoh ? I've been trying to teach my little girl to use a computer11:56
Yagisanit's a lot harder to pull apart for her11:56
jsgotangcooh its not a problem on our home, my girl prefers to use a real laptop rather than her toy one11:56
=== Yagisan feels sad she ripped up all the books I bought her
jsgotangcoi've bought her a toy computer worth $100 and it just self-destruct after a few kiddie torture11:57
YagisanI need more robust toys - I think my little girl is an engineer11:58
jsgotangcomy problem at th e moment is her gameboy11:58
YagisanShe always is giving me "spare" parts11:58
jsgotangcoshe won't do her kumon lessons before playing at least an hour11:58
Yagisankumon ? isn't that cram school ?12:01
jsgotangcono12:01
jsgotangcoits not supposed to replace math studies in school12:02
jsgotangco(others use it for that though)12:02
Yagisanah - then I was thinking of juku, both are from Japan though12:04
jsgotangcoheh12:08
jsgotangcothat reminded me when i was an exchange student in suzuka back then...12:09
jsgotangcohigh school was literally useless12:09
Yagisanlike the trip ? I was impressed by how different - yet how same it was when I first went12:10
jsgotangcowell yeah12:11
jsgotangcomost of the highschool years they don't study at all except for the last year (college entrace preparation)12:11
YagisanI was in country for only a few hours before I broke an electronic toilet, trying to figure out how it worked12:12
jsgotangcothe city toilets are ok, already westernized12:12
jsgotangcobut most homes in far flung areas are still very traditional12:12
YagisanI tried both styles12:13
Yagisanlearn to balance or =-O12:13
jsgotangcohahaha12:13
jsgotangcoi also got the chance to ride those transparent ferris wheel rides12:14
jsgotangcoscary12:14
YagisanI got the electronic toilet to "detect" a person when It was empty - blew water right across the hotel room :-[12:14
YagisanI went to the top of tokyo tower, and looked through the glass floor - that was freaky12:15
jsgotangcoyeah12:15
jsgotangcoand the officemen wearing porn manga on the way to work12:16
jsgotangcoi mean reading12:16
Yagisantry to catch the train n peak hour ? that was an experience12:17
jsgotangcoyeah12:17
jsgotangcohehehe12:17
jsgotangcothe train people have this paddles12:17
jsgotangcoi think they separate the women nowadays12:17
Yagisanyes, there is a separate womens car in peak hour, because of the perverts on the train12:18

highvoltageogra: what's the default username/password for schooltool on edubuntu?02:32
ograerm...02:32
highvoltagei'm probably missing something very obvious here :)02:34
ogramanager and schooltool02:34
highvoltageah, thanks. do we have it on the wiki, or documented somewhere?02:34
ogranot yet... thanks for reminding... wanted to add it some days ago02:35
highvoltagei talked to JaneW previously about an edubuntu tour, showing all the futures of ubuntu on one page.02:35
highvoltageogra: here's a previe page, i'll add it up there too: http://www.edubuntu.org/proto/tour.html02:35
ograthanks02:36
highvoltageogra: have you looked at the crystal theme on OOo2? Do you think it's appropriate for edubuntu? I think it's more appropriate than the brown gtk theme.02:40
ograi looked at it... i dont like t... 02:41
ograbut thats personal preference... 02:41
ograi never liked any of the crystal stuff... its cold and dead in its glassy look02:41
=== bluefrog-10 [n=admin@81.56.254.229] has joined #edubuntu
highvoltageseems like lots of people don't like it for that reason.02:42
ograprobably we could ask the gartoon author to produce matching icons for us ;)02:42
highvoltagei quite like it, apposed to the gtk theme. perhaps we should put out a call for some OOo hackers to put gartoon into OOo02:43
highvoltageah, yes. that too :)02:43
ograits easy to put anothee theme in if you have icons for it ;)02:43
highvoltagein OOo too? cool. I thought it needs a re-compile and/or some hard coding.02:44
ograsure...02:44
ograbut its easy if you have access to the source ;)02:45
highvoltagetrue :)02:45
highvoltageit can be a nice excercise for me over the december holidays, just a pity i won't have big internet access.02:45
highvoltagei think i'll download the entire ubuntu archive in the meantime.02:45
highvoltageif i need something, i have it.02:46
ogranote that it will change rapidly...02:46
highvoltagethe OOo releases?02:47
highvoltageI suppose I could figure out how to do it with an older release,02:47
highvoltageand once we have the final version before release it could just be copied and pasted into the newer one.02:48
ograif it didnt change by then :)02:48
ograbut for learning its a good way to go i think02:48
highvoltageif i'd like to wget all the ubuntu packages, could i just download everything from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/ and under?02:50
ograapt-cache show debmirror ;)02:51
=== highvoltage does apt-get install debmirror
highvoltageogra: do you know how big the breezy archive is, including universe? I would guess about 14GB?02:54
ografor one arch, it think...02:55
highvoltagewhat does this mean?02:57
highvoltageWon't mirror without dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz signature in Release at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1187.02:57
ograhmm, no idea, i dont use debmirror myself... thats a question for -devel03:00

ograTopslakr, see /topic :)06:35
ograTopslakr, there is only one step to do after installation...06:36
Yagisanturn on :)06:36
Yagisan.oO(Unless it doesn't support pxe, in which case we a a few more steps)06:37
ogranah... the autogeneration of /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf didnt make it... it requites to manually edit this file ... but EdubuntuInstallNotes should cover all common cases06:37
ograyes, non PXE is somewhat spethial06:38
Yagisanogra: but as I demonstrated, easy to fix06:38
ograYagisan, did you have to do any changes to the tfptboot setup ? 06:39
Yagisanogra: and if your pxe has bugs, perhaps a better choice06:39
Yagisanogra: none at all - if you follow the wiki06:39
ograi was asked this today...06:39
ograoh, great, thanks :)06:39
Yagisanogra: My instructions specifically set up pxe emulation06:39
ograah, cool06:39
Yagisanmany thanks to whoever formated my instructions nicely06:40
=== ogra guesses that was mhz

Yagisanogra, just browsing the bofs, you have ThinClientAudio, and ThinClientDevices, any plans for ThinClientLocalApps ?07:27
Yagisanoh, and any fresh new ltsp patches for me to try ?07:28
ogranot yet, working on ldm merge so its in the first new package if dapper opens... than your multiarch patch07:28
ogra*then07:28
=== Yagisan needs a break from trying to get my website to show in IE5
ogranope, i have no plans for ThinclientLocal apps... and time for dapper feature developemnt will be *very* shourt since we'll have UVF earlier07:29
ogra(a lot earlier) 07:31
Yagisanogra: you will most likely need to implement either traffic shaping or compression for the audio over the network07:32
Yagisanto keep latency acceptable07:32
ograyes, i thought about gstreamer/theora/ssh tunnel07:32
ograso we have an ogg stream on the net....07:33
Yagisanogg does need a bit of cpu power to encode decode07:33
ograyup07:33
Yagisanadpcm gets 4:1 compression, and needs almost no cpu time (can be done realtime on a 386)07:34
ograother suggestions that are gstreamer supported and have such a high rate ? 07:34
Yagisanbut needs more bandwidth07:34
=== Yagisan can't attend bof, so if you think I have a good idea, log it :)
ograis there a gstreamer implementation available ? 07:37
Yagisanogra: I don't know, adpcm is such an old codec, gstreamer0.8-audiofile should support it07:43
Yagisanit's a basic modification of the pcm (wav) format07:44
ograsounds bandwith hungry07:45
Yagisanto an extent yes, tradeoff cpu vs bandwidth07:45
ogradepends if i need more CPU for de or encoding... i have plenty CPU power on the server...07:46
ograat least for plings and ploings of gnome it should be enough :)07:47
Yagisanogra: someone, somewhere, is going to try and play their mp3/ogg collection on that server07:47
Yagisanin any rate, it should be low cpu decode07:48
ograyup07:48
Yagisanbecause clients can be anything from a 486 up07:48
ograyup07:50
YagisanograL flac may be better, fast decode, more bandwidth efficient then adpcm, and has a gstreamer plugin07:50
Yagisan*ogra07:50
ograyup07:50
ogralets see how to implement it.. i think gstreamer is the right way... it covers desktop, totem and rhythmbox as well as all gnome apps... 07:51
ograthe prob is to make the kdeedu apps tlak to gstreamer07:52
Yagisanwhat about apps that talk directly to alsa or oss ?07:52
Yagisanfound a compression here http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lossless_comparison for flac07:53
Yagisans/compression/comparison07:53
ograthey are not in the desktop we ship and it would be a huge ugly hack to do networked alsa07:53
ograthanlks :)07:54
Yagisanusing me (a non-typical case I know), I'd want xmms to work, perhaps vmware (it grabs /dev/dsp and isn't shipped by you), timidity07:57
Yagisanand most likely a few others to work (wesnoth :) )07:57
ograthats not my target yet for basic audio support...08:02
=== Yagisan sobs quietly
ograwe an extend what we have later...08:08
ogralike we do now with the release08:08
ograone step at a time as long as i dont have more devs helping...08:08

fernandoktswhere can I get some help about Edubuntu?11:28
ograhere ? 11:29
ograjust ask away :)11:29
fernandoktsthanks11:29
fernandoktsso11:29
fernandoktsI installed Edubuntu in default in a computer to be the ltsp server...11:31
fernandoktsIt's working great with PS2 mouse clients 11:31
fernandoktsbut when I boot a Serial Mouse, the mouse doesn't work11:31
fernandoktsbut when I boot a Serial Mouse Client, the mouse doesn't work11:32
ograoh, thats a genereal ubuntu problem...11:32
fernandoktsand when I run ltspadmin it says that Xdmcp isn't installed, 11:32
ograwe cant detect serial mice11:32
fernandoktshmm11:32
ograltspadmin isnt used in edubuntus ltsp... the implementation is brandnew and developed in ubuntu, the main ltsp team is just adopting it11:33
fernandoktsthat answers a lot11:34
ograwe'll have gui tools to manage the ltsp setup in the next release11:34
fernandoktsis there any config tool for this version?11:34
fernandoktsor any config files11:34
ogracurrently only lts.conf11:34
ograplace it in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ on the server, there is a example file in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client11:35
fernandoktsis that one different from that created by ltspadmin?11:35
ogratha majority of original ltsp options should work if you are familiar with the syntax11:36
ograi dont know what ltspadmin creates ...11:36
ograi guess there will be a lot of overhead11:36
ograsince we can autodetect a lot in our implementation which doesnt work in legacy ltsp11:37
fernandoktsthe funny thing is: when I use lts.conf in ../etc the clients(that weren't starting in GDM) start in GDM but the keyboard doesn't work11:37
fernandoktsif I specify a serial mouse in lts.conf should that work?11:38
ograhttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes has some hints for keyboard settings...11:39
ograi think so...11:39
=== Seveas [n=seveas@seveas.demon.nl] has joined #edubuntu
ograbut i would remove all other entrys from the file... it moght confuse te autodetection, i dont know what ltspadmin adds there11:40
fernandoktsmaybe that's why it stops the keyboard11:41
fernandoktsI work in a School in Brazil and the teatchers and Students loved Edubuntu11:41
ogragreat :)11:41
fernandoktsand soon we are thinking in helping the edubunt team some how11:42
ograthe next release will be really slick, this one was mainly targeted in developing a base to build bigger stuff on in the future...11:42
ograany help is absolutely welcome... :)11:42
fernandoktsthanks, is there any date you are thinking for the release11:43
fernandokts?11:43
ograthis release was a one man show wrt development, if we cant get a team together it wont go on :)11:43
ograapril is the next release... edubuntu is bound to the release schedule of ubuntu11:44
fernandoktsok then11:44
fernandoktsso, thank you very much11:44
