paolobHi guys! I've just installed edubuntu on my ltsp server, and I'm trying to boot a client. All is ok, with the nic, but when booting the client's linux, the client fails "calculating modules dependencies": it says: "FATAL: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/modules.dep.temp for writing: Read-only file system". Any idea?02:40

The client boots the kernel, fails starting some service (for example "calculating modules dependencies) because of a "Read-only file system", and when it presents the graphical login screen, it doesn't log in: Any user/password I put, it reiniciate gdm.

Zaheer2. How do i install .debs (ubuntu files not debian) ?03:25
YagisanZaheer: 2. Use synaptic or aptitude on the server (synaptic is in a menu, you'd need to run aptitude from a terminal)03:29
paolobYagisan, thank you! let me try!03:32
paolobYagisan, now it does work! than you!03:33
paolobYagisan, But what about the "Read-only file system" error? Aren't they perjudicial?03:34
Zaheerthe last time i checked synaptic didnt have any facilities for openening single debs... i had to run dkpg -i [filename.deb]  and even that didn't always work...i'll give it a try03:34
jsgotangcowell maybe your deb has some dependencies03:41
Zaheeryes they did, and i had to install them in order of the deps.... 'twas loong night :D03:42

zakameZaheer: just a thought, but have you checked /usr/share/doc/postgresql ?03:52
Zaheeri've read through the "getting started" docs and it doesnt say anything about it over... 03:53
ealdenZaheer: do a `sudo su postgres` and then `createuser foo`03:53
Zaheertried it dont work03:54
Zaheerremember this was a standard edubuntu install that come with postgres..03:54
Zaheercame.03:54
ealdenhmm03:54
Zaheeri know the norm is user=postgres password= blank but it kept prompting when i entered nothing... seems it didnt like empty strings03:55
zakamehave you tried password `blank' ?03:57
Zaheerliterall?03:57
zakameyeah, worth a try...03:57
Zaheerwhen it prompts i hit 'enter'03:57
Zaheerand then it just prompts again.03:58
Zaheerim going to try to install pgadmin and see what happening baby my newness is whats holding me back...04:00
Zaheerthanks for the comments and suggestions will try them out tonight and give some feedback 2mrw :)04:02
Zaheerthanks guys/girls much appreciated! bye04:02
ograZaheer, you have to create the user in the master table ... "sudo su postgres pgsql" should get you in the postgres console04:02

neurogeekmhz, Well.. we are seriously considering contributing  to Edubuntu with Cuaima10:54
mhzneurogeek: educool10:55
mhzIMHO it is a very interesting candidate10:55
neurogeekmhz, IMHO i think the debian-installer is way to old fashioned for a distro like Ubuntu10:55
mhzyes and no10:56
neurogeekmhz, no.. i haven't tried yet.. i will soon.. I've tried Ubuntu and Kubuntu though.. they are very good!10:56
neurogeekmhz, why??10:56
mhzdebian-installer may be very good for olde machine10:56
mhzolder machines :)10:57
neurogeekmhz, yes, i agree10:57
mhzusually, all GUI's installers I have tried, they all take toooo long to do the job10:57
mhzIMHO, we should be able to provide 2 wasy10:57
mhzways10:57
mhza) light installer (usually command line or similar)10:58
mhzb) gui10:58
neurogeekbut ive seen too many machines that get stuck with d-i.. its a shame 10:58
mhzoh, yes10:58
neurogeekmhz, i strongly agree with you10:58
mhzheheh10:58
mhzwe 2 agree on same point10:58
mhzs10:58
mhzdebian-installer may not be the best10:59
mhzso we should provide a very light and fast installer10:59
mhzhowever, I doubt we could change d-i so far10:59
mhzbut I see no problem (can't imagine which) having a second option10:59
mhzlike cuaima10:59
neurogeekmhz, yes.. and we are willingly developing Cuaima to fit those needs.. 11:00
mhzneurogeek: so, you should definately talk to ogra (oliver)11:00
mhzand propose your views on the edubuntu ml11:00
neurogeekand yes.. ive been asking around ubuntu channels and odds are not to good for changing d-i any time soon11:01
mhzexactly11:01
mhzhowever,11:01
neurogeekmhz, I will..11:01
mhzfrom my humble edubuntu POV, I would suggest this idea for near future:11:01
mhza) we have a base installation (edubuntu stuff)11:02
=== enyc may well goto daycare-nursery where thef using edubuntu-box tomorrow......
mhzb) we have already prepackaged set of tools and apps.  for each subject (science, math, language, etc)11:02
mhzso teachers or institutions use what they need11:03
mhzso during install time, you can choose to add a whole set of tools11:03
luis__enyc: take pictures!11:04
neurogeekthats the way it should be.. we can easily adapt cuaima to do that11:04
enycluis__: hmm no camera etc. error11:04
