| mhz | PDF disabled | 02:53 |
| mhz | if I Ctrl+C it, then it completes booting | 02:53 |
| ogra | hit escape on boot ad edit the kernel commandline, remove the word splash from it and boot to see where its really stuck | 02:55 |

| mhz | ooohhh | 03:01 |

| highvoltage | JaneW: i don't really mind, but there are many difficult people. | 08:18 |
| JaneW | highvoltage: ok use the long one, I was going to suggest that first and then thought it was really long and strange, but maybe link it with a few words instead of showing the URL, that will solve the problem easilly | 08:19 |

| mhz | Katsumoto: welcome!!! | 02:09 |
| Katsumoto | :D | 02:09 |
| mhz | you have chosen the good pill | 02:09 |
| mhz | :D | 02:09 |
| Katsumoto | haha nice1 ;) | 02:09 |
| Katsumoto | I completely formatted the other pc I have. | 02:10 |
| Katsumoto | first I tried 2 diff windows cd's...nothing happened, didn't even boot up | 02:10 |
| Katsumoto | I was like: oh what the heck, *inserts ubuntu cd* and it boots | 02:10 |
| Katsumoto | amazing :p | 02:11 |
| mhz | hehehe, see? | 02:11 |
| Katsumoto | I was told you can configure your network settings with Samba right? | 02:16 |
| mhz | hmm, samba is for 'making MS talk to Linux' | 02:16 |
| Katsumoto | yes that's what I need.. | 02:16 |
| Katsumoto | since the linux pc will be connected through the MS pc | 02:17 |
| mhz | Linux already talks to many OSes. It's MS that doesnt | 02:17 |
| Katsumoto | indeed :P | 02:17 |
| mhz | Network settings are set from GNOME desktop (in this case) | 02:17 |
| ogra | Katsumoto, "through" or to the MS pc ? these are different things ... | 02:18 |
| Katsumoto | the pc I'm one uses MS | 02:18 |
| Katsumoto | it's the host pc for the other one I have downstairs | 02:19 |
| ogra | "to" means you need samba, "through" means you just need to enable connection forwarding on windows and tell your linux to use it as gateway | 02:19 |
| Katsumoto | Gateway(router/modem) <----------- Host PC (this one, uses MS) <--------------- 2nd PC (linux) | 02:20 |
| Katsumoto | <-- resembles network cables :P | 02:20 |
| === zakame [n=zak@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| Katsumoto | mhz: on this pc (MS) I have a shared connection so that the one downstairs can use it as well.. | 02:26 |
| ogra | the you just need to tell the linux pc to use the windows pc as gateway (in the network settings tool) | 02:26 |
| mhz | Katsumoto: yup, Linux is like anyother box in that case | 02:27 |
| mhz | (just betta) | 02:27 |
| Katsumoto | ohke :) cool | 02:29 |
| Katsumoto | My dad's wondering if he'll be able to work with it well enough. | 02:30 |
| Katsumoto | he's not much of a computer person :p | 02:30 |
| mhz | np | 02:31 |
| mhz | he will enjoy as long as he understand this is NOT M$. it another OS | 02:31 |
| Katsumoto | that I told him...he was glad the cd booted and he'll be able to email/write/browse again :) | 02:32 |
| mhz | cool | 02:34 |
| mhz | remember that Linux is the base and desktops may vary in many senses | 02:34 |
| mhz | and performance is relational to hardware | 02:35 |
| Katsumoto | yeh I'm aware of that :) | 02:35 |
| Katsumoto | will make things less boring and more fun to solve :P | 02:35 |
| === ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089C957.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| mhz | so if you hardware is modern, GNOME or KDE can be very attractive | 02:36 |
| mhz | if as in my case, my thin laptop prefers WindowMaker | 02:36 |

| juliux | ogra, about the workshop | 03:02 |
| juliux | ogra, could you make a short introduction about edubuntu and the idea behin it? | 03:03 |
| ogra | sure | 03:03 |
| mhz | juliux: I have no problems you talk in german | 03:03 |
| juliux | mhz, i have to learn to speak in englisch | 03:03 |
| mhz | I'm sure ogra can answer in english | 03:03 |
| juliux | ogra, my idea is that we start the installation and if there is only the progressbar you can tell them something about edubuntu and then if the installation is finshed we show what we talked about, and anserd questions | 03:05 |
| juliux | ogra, what do you think about that? | 03:06 |
| mhz | juliux: just for statistics, In a talk I did, Edubuntu took 20 minutes to be installed in a 1 GHz and 128 MB ram | 03:06 |
| ogra | thats fine | 03:06 |
| ogra | mhz, a default install ? | 03:06 |
| ogra | that cant be ... | 03:06 |
| mhz | yup | 03:06 |

| juliux | ogra, i will test it in the next weeks | 03:07 |
| mhz | oh, I mean 20 mins after partitioning and stuff. 20 mins available while 'auto-installation- is working | 03:07 |
| ogra | ~30min in first stage of the installer and a bit more than 30 in the second stage | 03:07 |
| mhz | hmm | 03:07 |
| mhz | weired | 03:07 |
| mhz | unless the student who timed it was wrong | 03:08 |
| juliux | ogra, but i want show them every step in the installation progess so they see how easy it is to install edubuntu | 03:08 |
| ogra | juliux, i have a thin client (a real one) now ... i can bring it, together with my development server (running on my laptop) so we can show upcoming stuff | 03:08 |
| ogra | there are only 5 steps ... 4 of them identical to ubuntu | 03:09 |
| ogra | the rest is progressbars | 03:09 |
| mhz | ogra: I'll time it myself so I can tell true facts | 03:11 |
| mhz | :) | 03:11 |
| ogra | :) | 03:12 |
| mhz | and maybe we could wiki those timings as well | 03:12 |

| juliux | mhz, and a very very quiet hd | 03:20 |
| ogra | 768 Mb will give us not more than 5 clients ... | 03:20 |
| juliux | ogra, if i have money i want to buy more ram | 03:20 |
| mhz | old here is OLD = 700 MHz or less, 192 MB or less | 03:20 |

| ogra_ | take the one from multiverse, unless you urgently need the newest ... | 06:33 |
| Katsu | no I just want it to work properly :) | 06:33 |
| ogra_ | it comes preconfigured for the firefox plugin etc ... no need to fiddle with it | 06:33 |
| ogra_ | then thats the way to go... its tested and all config stuff is already done in the package | 06:34 |
| mhz | Katsu: which java runtime are you trying? | 06:34 |

| neurogeek | mhz, check your email.. strusberg should have sent you an email about the event at Maracaibo | 06:38 |
| mhz | neurogeek: in order? really? I thought geeks had little order :) | 06:38 |

| ryanbisd | how do i install xdmcp? | 06:40 |
| ogra_ | we dont use xdmcp on ubuntu.... | 06:40 |
| highvoltage | ryanbisd: are you sure you want xdmcp? edubuntu doesn't use it. | 06:41 |
| ryanbisd | for ltsp? | 06:41 |
| ogra_ | we use ssh tunneling | 06:41 |
| ogra_ | indeed if you like the old insecure way, you can use xdmcp with gdm ... needs some tweakage though | 06:42 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: what's the best way to connect from an existing fat client system to an edubuntu server through ssh tunneling? | 06:42 |
| ogra_ | highvoltage, probably a script ... | 06:42 |
| ogra_ | have a look at ldm ... | 06:42 |
| highvoltage | aah. | 06:42 |
| highvoltage | ok. | 06:42 |
| ogra_ | the connection routines from there can easily be adapted | 06:42 |
| === mwest [n=mwest@tsl.uct.ac.za] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ryanbisd | is it setup automatically in edubuntu? to work with ltsp? | 06:43 |
| ogra_ | i'll put our ltsp in bzr this week, so you can easily check out the branch from there | 06:43 |
| ogra_ | ryanbisd, yup | 06:43 |
| ogra_ | nearly 100% automatic | 06:43 |
| ogra_ | see: http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes | 06:43 |
| ogra_ | installing edubuntu is mainly answering 5 questions, waiting ~1h and adjust /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (if needed) and youre done | 06:45 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: how's bzr like, you like it? | 06:45 |
| ogra_ | yes | 06:45 |
| highvoltage | /nick ogra :) | 06:45 |
| ogra | :-P | 06:45 |
| highvoltage | :) | 06:45 |
| ogra | have a trxy with bzr .... it has a real cool gui vizualization of the branches and merges of a tre | 06:46 |
| ogra | e | 06:46 |
| ogra | it finally made me understand the process :) and its way easier to use than bazaar | 06:46 |
| highvoltage | nice, i'll play with it this weekend when i have internet at home again. atm i'm connected with gprs where it costs me +/- US$0.50/MB | 06:47 |
| highvoltage | cool, i want better understanding too. | 06:47 |
| highvoltage | even the merges confused me. | 06:47 |
| ogra | deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~jbailey/snapshot/bzr/ ./ | 06:48 |

| Katsu | if so, I need plugins for it...where can I find those? | 06:58 |
| === Katsu apologizes for his noobness :p | ||
| ogra | out of the box there are only free codecs installed ... | 06:58 |
| mhz | Katsu: try mplayer (afaik) | 06:59 |
| ogra | you find all the nonfree stuff in multiverse ... look for gstreamer-plugins | 06:59 |
| ogra | or even install the totem-xine backend ... | 06:59 |
| ogra | or mplayer as mhz said | 06:59 |
| Katsu | it uses Totem player as a default | 07:00 |
| ogra | yes | 07:00 |
| ogra | so totem-xine does only change the backend and you dont need a gazillion plugins :) | 07:01 |
| ogra | totem default needs all the gstreamer backends | 07:01 |

| Katsu | hmm where can I get this totem-xine | 07:12 |
| ogra | universe | 07:12 |
| mhz | apt-get install totem-xine | 07:12 |
| ogra | just use synaptic and enable all the additional repositorys | 07:12 |
| ogra | then search for it | 07:13 |
| mhz | well, that too | 07:13 |
| mhz | :) | 07:13 |
| ogra | doubleclick and click apply | 07:13 |
| mhz | click-click | 07:13 |
| Katsu | hmm do I need to be logged into root? | 07:13 |
| ogra | there is no root :) | 07:13 |
| ogra | we use sudo all over the place ... | 07:14 |
| Katsu | E: Kon het vergrendelingsbestand '/var/lib/apt/lists/lock' niet openen - open (13 Permission denied) | 07:14 |
| ogra | so in the gui, if a password dialog pops up, just give your password | 07:14 |
| Katsu | yes | 07:15 |
| ogra | and in terminal put sudo in front | 07:15 |
| === mhz is offline for a while | ||

| Katsu | but I can't enter anything | 07:16 |
| ogra | you just dont see anything ;) | 07:16 |
| Katsu | ah. | 07:16 |
| ogra | enter your pw and hit enter | 07:17 |
| ogra | thats why i normally not refer to commandline in support :) | 07:17 |
| Katsu | hmm is says it' either can't find the totem-xine application or it's just not there. | 07:18 |
| Katsu | libtotem-plparser0 should be an option it says | 07:18 |
| ogra | do you have universe enabled ? | 07:18 |
| Katsu | dont know where to see that. | 07:19 |
| Katsu | *noob* | 07:19 |
| ogra | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy universe multiverse | 07:20 |
| ogra | ^^^ this line should be in /etc/apt/sources.list without a # sign in front | 07:20 |
| ogra | alternatively use synaptic | 07:20 |
| ogra | System->Settings->Synaptic | 07:21 |
| ogra | open Settings->Package sources from the menu | 07:21 |
| ogra | and add the missing ones ... | 07:22 |
| Katsu | right I searched for totem-xine...I found it..it says it's installed | 07:35 |
| Katsu | when I click Package I dont have an option to upgrade it.. | 07:35 |
| ogra | it has agreen square in front ? | 07:36 |
| Katsu | yes it has | 07:36 |
| ogra | hmm, and you cant play avi files ? | 07:37 |
| Katsu | nope | 07:39 |
| ogra | hmm, works here | 07:40 |
| ogra | are you sure its avi, not wma or something ? | 07:40 |
| Katsu | I want to play LotR, whe I double click it, it starts up totem player but after that it says that there were no decoders found to handle the stream | 07:40 |
| ogra | the evil codecs are in the w32codecs package we cant ship | 07:40 |
| Katsu | you might need to install the corresponding plugins." | 07:41 |
| Katsu | ah | 07:41 |
| ogra | totem-xine shouldnt say such things ... | 07:41 |
| ogra | but try to install w32codecs | 07:41 |
| Katsu | which can be found in the synaptic package manager? | 07:42 |
| ogra | nope | 07:42 |
| ogra | it is highly illegal, we cant ship it | 07:42 |

| ogra | try downloading this and install it with: sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb | 07:42 |
| Katsu | oke | 07:43 |
| ogra | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for more information | 07:43 |

| Katsu | should the file be in any specific folder to be installed? | 07:43 |
| === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | nope | 07:44 |
| ogra | but in the folder you cureently are, else you need to give the path where its located in front of the filename | 07:45 |
| Katsu | it's in My Downloads | 07:45 |
| ogra | so go there in a terminal and issue the above command | 07:46 |

| paolob | Guys, what about migrating to edubuntu from testing now? | 07:50 |

| Katsu | sry ogra, but I have very little knowledge about linux. | 08:01 |
| Katsu | I have dl-ed nvidia display drivers for linux. it's in my /home/<name> dir | 08:02 |
| ogra | noo | 08:02 |
| Katsu | what would the command line be to install it? | 08:02 |
| ogra | we have a package ;) | 08:02 |
| Katsu | ooh | 08:02 |
| Katsu | oke | 08:02 |
| Katsu | lol | 08:02 |
| ogra | make sure linux-restricted-modules is installed | 08:02 |
| ogra | additionally install nvidia-glx for the non module stuff | 08:03 |
| Katsu | I have that installed yes: 3 appz, all have a green mark | 08:04 |
| Katsu | ah installing :) | 08:04 |
| Katsu | thanks again :P | 08:05 |
| ogra | put a line reading nvidia in /etc/modules | 08:07 |
| ogra | and change "nv" to "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:08 |
| ogra | then reboot and you should see the nvidia logo | 08:08 |
| Katsu | so I installed nvidia-glx | 08:13 |
| Katsu | Section "Device" | 08:15 |
| Katsu | Identifier"NVIDIA Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] " | 08:15 |
| Katsu | Driver"nv" | 08:15 |
| Katsu | BusID"PCI:1:0:0" | 08:15 |
| Katsu | that's what it says | 08:15 |
| ogra | change nv to nvidia | 08:16 |
| ogra | and make sure the modulename nvidia is in /etc/modules | 08:16 |
| Katsu | oke, wasn't sure if that was what u meant :) | 08:16 |
| Katsu | hm opened xorg.conf with gedit | 08:18 |
| Katsu | can't seem to add/remove words | 08:18 |

| Katsumoto | yes, so any clue how I can fix it? | 08:39 |
| Katsumoto | yes thats what I meant | 08:39 |
