Topslakrsry guys, i asked a question earlier and then had to run out. I'm wondering what the terminal clients need to do to link up to the edubuntu terminal server.12:36
ograthey need to be able to PXE boot from the net if you dont want manual work involved...12:38
ograand they need to be connected to the edubuntu server network wise indeed12:38
Topslakri belive that they can. I've not tried that yet though, but i'll just need to make them boot pxe and the edubuntu server will handle dhcp ect12:39
Topslakrthis will involve plenty of work on my end i belive. I'd like them to have web access and i already have another DHCP server on network that i'd like to keep12:39
ograput a second network card in the server ;)12:40
ajmitch_ogra: is etherboot acceptable? :)12:41
ograhttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes links to all necessary instructions to set up the server12:41
ograajmitch_, via a rom-o-matic image, yes12:41
TopslakrI've been thinking about second nic, and it seems like my only option though the logistics are impossible if I want to do this right12:42
ograhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/ThinClientHowtoNAT has the necessary info for the setup :)12:43
Topslakrheh, I've been reading and reading. I appreciate your time though12:43
ograif you follow the above two docs and come back if you have questions, it should be straight forward to set up :)12:45
Topslakrok, thx12:45
ograyore welcome :)12:45
ogra*youre even12:46

jsgotangcoi believe its on the wiki?08:53

JaneWThe only place where modern-day Linux would be appropriate would be in grades 6 and up, meaning that the kindergarten-level artwork is vastly inappropriate and the kids (teenagers) will not accept it without some whining."10:30

ogra. If you are looking for an excuse to try Linux for the classroom, do yourself a favour and download/install Edubuntu. It may be one of the easiest steps into the Linux environment. 10:50
ograi like that :)10:50
ajmitch_very nice :)10:51
ajmitch_yay for kamion backing me up in -devel10:51
JaneWogra: yeah that's a good one :)10:53
JaneWheh " Maybe I could put a powered by Ubuntu button... though this post is powered by Pentium III and Windows 98.... Stupid school. They should use Edubuntu (Google it) instead. They've had a final release, right?"10:55

JaneWcan you give me one minute, just need  a glass of water...01:47
mhzsure01:48
JaneWsorry turned into a cup of coffee, which took longer, back now.01:52
mhzhehehe01:53
JaneWmhz: ok I like the covers, I presume there's an english version?01:53
JaneWmhz: also I think the plainer CD label looks better01:53
mhzenglish/ sure, as soon as i know which is the definitive01:54
JaneWmhz: don;t we need some text on the CD label too?01:54
JaneWwell we only have a defualt english version this time...01:54
mhzlabel/ you mean white bg?01:54
JaneWplus since we only have one print run which needs to ship all over the world I reckon we'll have to go with english as the linga franca...?01:54
mhztext/ of course, it's just that Tecnocimiento gang decided we firt present the 'art' part and then we modify texts.01:55
JaneWI don't follow?01:55
JaneWtext/ oic, ok np then01:55
JaneWlabel/ what do you mean?01:56
mhzlabel/ what do you mean by 'plainer'?01:56
JaneWI saw the one guy said the label must be more colourful, that's not possible we'll only have one colour (the red) and a text colour (white (or black))01:56
JaneWmhz: there are 2 pics of CDs, one looks plain the other has the world on it01:56
mhzohhh01:56
JaneWwe can only print on one side of the CD itself and I prefer the plainer one01:57
JaneWplus if you have an ubuntu CD (or that design that was sent) - we need to state Edubuntu Install CD - version 5.10 for intel x86. Legally free to copy, modify and redistribute. Edubuntu is a trademark of Canonical Ltd. www.edubuntu.org.01:58
mhzJaneW: pics/ there are 2, indeed. So you like better the plainer. Do you prefer it on white background (bg) or red bg?01:59
JaneWdoes that make sense?01:59
mhzyes01:59
JaneWI like the red CD, it's nice and bold and fits well with our theme01:59
mhzok, red it is, then01:59

mhzJaneW: cd slips/ any other desing you'd like to see there?02:00
JaneWI like the design, I am just not sure if it matches perfectly with our orange and red theme...02:01
JaneWbut I am happy to go with the majority vote.02:01

mhzWiki pages and data/ There have been some discussion about the good or bad of the wiki merging. Despite that conversation, I'd like to focus on how to make it easier for users to find the info they look for and for doc contributors to wiki pages in a more organized way.03:56
mhzOnce I thought that 'promoting' the use of standarized wiki names would be ok (EdubuntuHowToNetwork, UbuntuHowToNetwork, KubuntuHowToNetwork, XubuntuHowToNetwork, etc), but then I was told that CamelCase was not a favourite :(  So people would still see HowToNetwork title and can't tell if it is Ubuntu or Kubuntu or anything related.03:56
mhzThen I thought, CategoryEdubuntuGeneral CategoryEdubuntuHowTo, etc. But then we should train people to wiki page creation by using Templates.03:56
mhzIf training is needed, wouldn't we need to consider ACL first, so people who read the 'training' pages and get familiar with how to wiki pages, get to a WikiContributorGroup or something?03:56
hno73The wiki is very open, fluid and active (those are also related) and people are keen to keep it that way03:58
hno73I think imposing ACLs would be good if we need to eliminate spam or vandalism, but not just to force people to use vthe right formats03:59
hno73why exactly is the current structure (or lack of) a problem?03:59
hno73btw: we will be adding an extra CPU to that machine tomorrow03:59
mhzbecause when you use RecentChanges, for example, you see info about kubuntu, ubuntu specific, etc.04:00
mhzanother cpu? cooooollliiiisimo04:01
hno73Yes, filtered RecentChanges would be cool04:01
hno73by category, say04:01
hno73I think that feature in itself would greatly encourage people to start using categories04:02
mhznow you see my point :)04:03
mhzI mean, if i am at wiki.edubuntu.org, I expect everything to be edubuntu related.04:04
hno73so, how do we go about getting the filtered RC feature coded? :)04:04
mhzhehehe, my first idea was FlavourPageNames04:04
hno73but it's not that simple, because the projects are inherently linked04:04
mhzexactly04:04
hno73and many ubuntu pages are useful for edubuntu users04:04
mhzexactly04:05
hno73and developers too04:05
mhzexactly04:05
pips1hello hno73, I'm Philipp from the Edubuntu summit, I'm keen on helping with the Edubuntu website... I did some initial brainstorming today and have started putting it up on the wiki for discussion. Since you and highvoltage weren't at the edubuntu-meeting today, jane suggested I'd get in touch by email. And now you are here! :-) 04:05
mhzbut, IMHO, it all starts from the person who actually starts a wiki page.04:05
ograhttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuWiring04:06
pips1Hi mhz, you answered an email of mine to the edubuntu list, earlier ;-)04:06
mhzpips1: oh, you are Philip04:06
ograprobably someone likes to add more tet or beautify the descriptions a bit :)04:06
mhz:)04:06
ogra*text04:06
pips1mhz: yep04:06
mhzogra: so, if FlavouredPageName is not a favourite, then Category is our only hope04:07
hno73pips1: hello :) reading ...04:07
ograyes, i know04:07
mhzogra: sorry04:07
mhzhno73: : so, if FlavouredPageName is not a favourite, then Category is our only hope04:07
=== mhz was so used to say ogra:
ograheh04:07
pips1hno73: the real meat is yet to come.. wip.. :-)04:08
mhzhno73: i'd say Category + Templates04:08
mhzand a simple page on which we motivate contributors to use a more "standarized" wiki style04:09
hno73pips1: ok :)  I'll read the meeting logs as well from earlier04:10
hno73mhz: agreed04:10
hno73One option is to drive the front-end websites with a moin wiki04:10
pips1hno73: in the meeting, there wasn't really too much discussion regarding web site yet04:11
mhzhmmm, lost me (my english problem)04:11
hno73that would encourage people to use good markup because only the mature and correct pages would make it into the 'official' site04:11
hno73mhz: have the main website be a separate moin implementation, where only a few can edit04:12
mhz.oO(ooh,, having RC differintiate between Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, etc and also adding an icon on the same line, that'd be just perfect04:12
hno73that looks like just a website04:12
mhzhno73: oh, that, too04:13
mhzhno73: is like wikimaster and wikiwiki04:13
hno73having a different icon based on category would be cool!04:13
mhzhno73: I can start 'motivating' moin gang :D04:13
hno73we are considering a moin-based www.ubuntu.com04:14
hno73Plone is a real pain sometimes04:14
mhzwe = who?04:14
mhzhehehehe04:14
hno73Jane Silber and I04:14
=== mhz used plone for just 2 days and got back to moin
hno73I need to look into it more closely to see if there are any major obstacles in doing it04:15
mhzi see04:15
hno73we need to figure out how to make the side menus04:15
hno73I have some ideas ...04:15
mhzwhat do you need?04:15
mhzshoot04:15
hno73Not the same as standard moin menus, they need to be page context sensitive04:16
hno73perhaps we could put a # menupagename = URL at the top of a page04:17
hno73which would pull in a pre-made HTML menu04:17
mhzdid you ever see Nir's section proposal for Menus?04:17
hno73or have python generate one from an array of titles and URLs04:17
hno73no, I've looked at some plugins, but not that04:18
mhzNir used a 'plug in' he developed. He had a PageWhatever thta was called from MoinPage and it was rendered as a very cool menu on either right or left side04:19
mhzthta = that04:19
hno73yes, that sounds good. URL?04:20
mhzi'll get in contact with him again. I've been away from moin for a very while but they still love me :D04:20
hno73You would need quite a few different menu pages though04:20
hno73:D04:20
hno73and you'd have to update them by hand04:20
mhzno problem. The GOOD SPECTACULAR thing about nir's plugin is that Users control what is shown on that menu, because the plugin is controlled via normal wiki editing04:21
hno73having a python-based plugin would be even better04:21
hno73right. It's a good first option04:21
mhzpython-based would be great but that would mean code touching and i don't know programming yet :(04:22
hno73I might be a able to learn some ...04:22
hno73So the point is, this page http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ is different from http://www.ubuntu.com/support/ and again from this http://www.ubuntu.com/support/supportoptions/ (the menu changes)04:24
hno73esp. if you count the moving selector thing as a change04:24
hno73then every menu is different04:25
mhzthose menus are all piece of cake with nir's04:25
=== mhz will look into his old moin tests. Maybe he'll have something for henrik to see
hno73cool. Well, I think static ones are easy, but the changing ones might be a bit harder04:26
mhzwhy?04:27
mhzdo they change automatically?04:27
=== spacey` [n=herman@ipd50a233d.speed.planet.nl] has joined #edubuntu
hno73no, but each page is different, so that's like 100 different menu files04:28
hno73each slightly different04:28
mhzon plone?04:29
hno73sure, look at the links above. No page has exactly the same menu04:30
mhzhmm, i mean in Moin you'd just do:04:30
mhzon a wiki page:04:30
mhz{{{section!04:31
mhzTheMenu04:31
mhz}}}04:31
mhzthen go to TheMenu page04:31
mhzand just 04:31
mhz * OneLine04:31
mhz * AnotherLine04:31
mhz * ThirdPageLin04:31
mhzThat will render a menu with those line on a WikiPage04:32
hno73sure, but you would need to call it TheMenu101 or whatever because you'd need 100 different Menu pages04:32
=== jeffc [n=jfc@84.5.112.40] has joined #edubuntu
mhzahhh04:32
mhzi see your point, now04:32
hno73the change is very small, but still04:33
mhzyes. but how would it be ideal, then?04:33
hno73menustructure.py would contain an array with the full menu structure04:34
hno73some plugin would call that file and use it as input04:34
mhzah, then you'd 'untick' pages you don't need?04:35
hno73and would show a slightly different menu depending on the active page04:35
hno73huh?04:35
jeffchi, i'm new under edubuntu, can I expose some point of view ?04:36
mhzoh, i see now04:36
mhzjeffc: shoot04:37
jeffci want serv some terminals04:37
jeffci have some pb with dhcp server04:37
jeffcbecause i search on the wrong dhcpd.conf04:38
mhzhehehe04:38
mhzjeffc: yet another person who did not read InstallNotes :D04:38
jeffci just find it's in /etc/ltsp not /etc/dhcp04:38
jeffcof course04:38
jeffcanother thing, it's terminal are most off time some old PC04:39
mhzogra: should we just eliminate /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file from there?04:39
jeffcand PXE don't exist04:39
mhzjeffc: can they boot from floppy or cd?04:40
jeffcit's necessary to make an .nbi04:40
ogramhz, doesnt work, the dhcp server needs the default file too04:40
mhzogra: how about ''DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"04:40
ogramhz, nope... its the default file shiopped by ubuntus dhcp server... 04:40
mhzhmmm04:40
Yagisanjeffc: you can make the old pc's boot pxe04:41
Yagisanjeffc: even if they need to boot from floppy, cd or hard disk04:41
ogramhz, the right fix will be in the next release when the /etc/ltso/dhcpd.conf file gets autogenerated and you simply dont need to touch iut04:41
Yagisanjeffc: to do it04:41
jeffcnow the "terminal" boot but only with the same "LTSP Display Manager"04:41
jeffcagain and again04:41
mhzhno73: so, to sum up... I contact moin gang and see how possible is to work out the RC thing, first. Then I try to get nir's plugin04:41
ograjeffc, you cant log in ? 04:42
jeffcexact04:42
ograbut you use a user that exists on the server ? 04:42
YagisanG'day mhz, talk go well ?04:42
jeffcyes04:42
mhzogra: I bet people will still start editing dchpd.conf  after installing :D04:43
jeffci change hosts.allow04:43
ogramhz, yes, i cant do anything about it04:43
ograeek04:43
ograjeffc, why ? 04:43
jeffcjust in case of ?04:43
hno73mhz: sound cool, thanks :)04:43
mhzYagisan: yes and nop. Yes, people were happy. Nop because mplayer showed the .avi very small and I have never used it so i was no help04:44
ograjeffc, there is only one thing you must change, as described on http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes04:44
jeffci 've did that04:44
ograjeffc, is your sshd running on the server ? 04:44
mhzjeffc: I could not login for a while until i ltsp-update-sshkeys04:44
jeffci see now04:45
ogramhz, that gets run on install04:45
mhzoh, right04:45
ogradont run it a second time, except you changed the IP of the server04:45
jeffcyes it's in the "service list"04:45
mhzhehehe, which was my case04:45
Yagisanmhz: ah, mplayer didn't use the right video driver04:46
jeffcand in processus list04:46
ogramhz, still, you should delete the od ssh keyfile first.. else you got duplicated entrys04:46
ograjeffc, ok04:46
mhzogra: ooh, good to know04:46
mhzYagisan: now it sounds logical. Back then.. we just not use the video :D04:46
jeffcwhat file exactly ?04:46
ograjeffc, chack if /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts exists04:46
ogracheck even04:47
mhzhno73: ok, so i'll let you know the advances04:47
ograjeffc, and check the content...04:47
Yagisanmhz: wish I could have given you a quick tut before the talk04:47
jeffcit's empty04:47
ograif its empty/non existent, then run "sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys"04:48
ograjeffc, thats a edubuntu default install ? 04:48
jeffcyes a new install04:48
ograhmm, very strange04:48
ograand the instal finished properly and dropped you to gdm on the server in the end ? 04:49
ogra*install04:49
mhzYagisan: np, I never thought they would have .avi in first place04:49
jeffcyes, but i can't boot with the kernel 2.6.9-1204:49
ograhuh ? why ? 04:50
jeffcI reinstall an old hoary to have 2.6.1004:50
ograedubuntu and ltsp is 100% depending on features in the breezy kernel and initramfs04:50
jeffcand after i load the last kernel 2.6.12-9-k704:51
ograthe thin clients wont work right without initramfs, hoarys kernel doesnt support initramfs04:51
jeffci've now the 2.6.12-9-k7 of edubuntu04:51
ograwhat didnt work with the default kernel ? 04:52
jeffci don't find : error unknow 99004:52
ograhuh... strange...04:52
jeffcthe hoary : no problem ; breezy : crash04:53
ogrado the thin clients work after you ran "sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys" ?04:53
jeffci go try the terminal with the update-sshkeys04:54
ograyup04:54
ograshould let you in now04:54
ograprobably you have to reboot the client to read the new config from the server04:54
jeffcMIRACLE all it's fine ;))04:56
ogra:)04:56
jeffcmy goal it's to use some old PC not for children but for student04:57
ografine :)04:58
jeffcit is preferable to use ubuntu+ltsp or it's the same with edubuntu ?04:58
ograedubuntu is a bit more colourful and brighter... 04:58
mhzedubuntu is cut out for education and ltsp04:58
ograhttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuScreenShots04:59
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
jeffcit's "just" the theme and some packages by default exact ?05:00
ograjeffc, techincally they are the same, excep that edubuntu brings nearly everything preconfigured05:00
ograand added educational apps indeed05:00
jeffcdo you think that an existant hoary with users can upgrade to edubuntu directly with the CD05:01
ograhmm, good question... it should work... but you probably need to install edubuntu-server and edubuntu-desktop manually afterwards and the autoconfiguration of ltsp wont be done, since this happens in the first part of the CD installer05:02
ograbut you can come bac here and we can lead you through the setup, its not hard05:03
mhzogra: edubuntu-server if i prefer kde or wm, right?05:03
ogramhz, edubuntu-server is ltsp, postgres prepared for moodle install, apache and schooltool05:04
ogramhz, but no autoconfiguration of ltsp ...05:04
mhzso, we are forced to install gnome?05:05
jeffci try to load the few ltsp package on an test Pc, but i had the same problems than today05:05
jeffcnow i know the pb ssh-key (grace  vous)05:05
jeffci can try an other test05:06
ograif you install on ubuntu, just follow the ThinClientHowto ... but note thats not necessary on edubuntu05:06
jeffcwhat is the state of using the CDrom player and floppy, usb... of the "terminal" ?05:07
ograas outlined on http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes thats part of the next release05:09
ograas well as sound on the thin clients05:09
JaneWogra: the TeacherTool meantioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBelowZero/BOFs, is that an exisiting product or something we want to spec and produce ourselves?05:10

JaneWogra: really?05:12
ograJaneW, i wont rewrite it... we only have 6-8 weeks development time for dapper05:12

ograUVF will be a month earlier.... no features can be developed after UVF05:13

mhzin fact, very clear :)05:22
jeffcmay be say that 2 eth card can be interresting in a big network with some server dhcp in place05:22
ograbut you already know what youre doing... its rather thought for people that dont know what NIC or router means... so there will be more text needed :)05:22
ogragreat suggestion, thanks :)05:23
mhzogra: maybe, adding howto make it work when dhcp server is already there05:24
ogramhz, then you should also go with the two NIC variant ... probably worth to add at the last pic05:25
mhzyeah05:26
highvoltageogra: here's the one i wanted to modify for edubuntu: http://wiki.edubuntu.org/JonathanCarter/TuxlabTopology?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=topology.pdf - I'll put some explanations with your diagrams this weekend (if no one beats me to it)05:26
ograhighvoltage, but thats not reflecting our default install05:27
mhz.oO(that's higher voltage)05:27
ograwould be the third pic... which requires at least basic networking skills05:27
ograhighvoltage, do out always route through the server at tuxlabs setups ?05:28
highvoltageogra: could you please rephrase that?05:29
ogrado you always route the thin clients through the server to get them on the net ? 05:30
highvoltagewith xdmcp, you don't have much of a choice, do you?05:30
highvoltageit doesn't actually get routed,05:30
ograthin client --> telekom goes through the server via a second NIC in your diagram05:30
highvoltageif the server has a connection, everyone has a connection.05:30
ograyes05:30
ograsee my second pic and compare it with my third pic...05:31
ograthe second is the cheaper setup ... and yo dont have to tweak the servers defaults...05:31
highvoltagewell, yes. when a lab has some kind of internet connection, we add another box that does all the caching, etc, that always connects to the second ethernet port on the server.05:32
