[02:16] I was told you can configure your network settings with Samba right? [02:16] hmm, samba is for 'making MS talk to Linux' [02:16] yes that's what I need.. [02:17] since the linux pc will be connected through the MS pc [02:17] Linux already talks to many OSes. It's MS that doesnt [02:17] indeed :P [02:17] Network settings are set from GNOME desktop (in this case) [02:18] Katsumoto, "through" or to the MS pc ? these are different things ... [02:18] the pc I'm one uses MS [02:19] it's the host pc for the other one I have downstairs [02:19] "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 [02:20] Gateway(router/modem) <----------- Host PC (this one, uses MS) <--------------- 2nd PC (linux) [02:20] <-- resembles network cables :P === zakame [n=zak@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #edubuntu [02:26] mhz: on this pc (MS) I have a shared connection so that the one downstairs can use it as well..

[03:03] sure [03:03] juliux: I have no problems you talk in german [03:03] mhz, i have to learn to speak in englisch [03:03] I'm sure ogra can answer in english [03:05] 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 [03:06] ogra, what do you think about that? [03:06] 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] thats fine [03:06] mhz, a default install ? [03:06] that cant be ... [03:06] yup [03:06] mhz, we have 90min time [03:06] the install takes more than 1h on all my machines here === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.207.45.254] has joined #edubuntu [03:07] ogra, i will test it in the next weeks [03:07] oh, I mean 20 mins after partitioning and stuff. 20 mins available while 'auto-installation- is working [03:07] ~30min in first stage of the installer and a bit more than 30 in the second stage [03:07] hmm [03:07] weired [03:08] unless the student who timed it was wrong [03:08] ogra, but i want show them every step in the installation progess so they see how easy it is to install edubuntu [03:08] 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 [03:09] there are only 5 steps ... 4 of them identical to ubuntu [03:09] the rest is progressbars [03:11] ogra: I'll time it myself so I can tell true facts [03:11] :) [03:12] :) [03:12] and maybe we could wiki those timings as well [03:12] lol mhz [03:12] specifying hw [03:12] it's very easy to work with [03:12] Katsumoto: did you time it? [03:13] configuring email accounts in evolution mail atm :) [03:13] looks like mozilla thunderbird :) [03:13] which I'm using [03:15] or we could get scott to make an 'installerchart' for d-i :) [03:16] highvoltage: hehehe [03:16] ogra, very cool [03:16] ogra, i will bring my laptop to essen where we can install edubuntu [03:16] fine :)= [03:17] ogra, we will also have a extra edubuntu server on the both, where we show edubuntu and ubuntu === mhz has no clue how to deal with EdubuntuAutomaticLoadBalancing [03:18] juliux: I am using a 'thin' Fujitsu LifeBook B-2175 as edubuntu main demo (server) [03:18] with only 256 MB and 500 MHz (500 me's ??)

[03:20] mhz, and a very very quiet hd [03:20] 768 Mb will give us not more than 5 clients ... [03:20] ogra, if i have money i want to buy more ram [03:20] old here is OLD = 700 MHz or less, 192 MB or less [03:21] and noisy HD [03:21] mhz, hehe [03:21] juliux: your old is modern here [03:21] mhz, i knoe [03:21] know [03:21] heheh [03:22] I hope you could wiki those specs and some uses or performance [03:22] mhz, but i have a new notebook and i only work on the notebook [03:22] esp. after becoming edubuntu server === mhz loves laptops much more than deskptops [03:23] desktops are for compiling and rendering [03:23] laptops are for coding and generating wrok bases [03:23] work === JaneW [n=JaneW@wbs-146-169-236.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [03:24] mhz, i'll get a lab for testing such stuff (mem usage etc) soon...

[03:40] mhz: in .ph :) although some variations require baking instead of frying [03:40] yup [03:41] we use them both [03:41] fried for cheese ones, baked for meat ones [03:41] and even (the best ones) in mud ovens [03:41] yuuummmmmiieee [03:42] hehe, yeah, empanadas rock, they once even became our source of income :) [03:42] zakame: but you use 'empanadas' in .ph?

[03:45] freedom is never easy nor free [03:46] luckily there are ppl who invest in free OSes [03:46] 'invest' as in put effort in it to make one [03:46] ok I'm logging off from this pc [03:46] Katsu: when you edit your /apt/source.list and try Synaptic... you'll see how powerful community wokr is [03:46] oke I'll try that [03:46] bbl [03:46] c ya [03:47] ogra: hmmm, should StudyPackages be in a diff apt source?

I forgot [03:50] sorry [03:50] if it becomes gigabytes of content, we should think about sparation ;) [03:51] separation sounds dangerous to me [03:56] WOW!!!! [03:56] http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/RedirectingExternalLinks [04:03] ogra: is this the name you mean or LtspParams ? EdubuntuLtsParams [04:03] the parameters of the lts.conf file [04:03] so LtsParams should be the right name [04:04] why Lts? [04:04] probably make it LtsConfParams === jinty [n=jinty@226.Red-81-39-9.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:04] the file is called likje that [04:04] its historical [04:04] duh!!! [04:04] ok [04:05] so can I avoid confusion and redirect it to LtsConfParams? [04:05] (both pages will exist so subscribed users get notifications) (i guess) [04:06] sure [04:25] ogra: what do you think? [04:25] http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuSoftwareList [04:25] redirected from SwList [04:25] cool [04:26] maybe normal TableOfContents will look betta? [04:26] nope, looks very cool [04:26] This 'tweak' is good for over 3 levels of TOC [04:26] okidoki [04:26] using edubuntu theme?

(i assume yes) [04:33] jsgotangco, yes, but the selection wont change much [04:34] dapper is the conservative "polish only" release [04:34] so moodle and one to three desktop apps will be all... [04:34] ahh [04:35] did you see highvoltage's chalk theme? [04:35] edubuntu-artwork will change heavily and ltsp will get a lot of improvement [04:35] zakame: software insight conference 2005, see ConferenceAppearances [04:36] jsgotangco: oh [04:36] so we're getting professional artwork now?

[05:32] so long until ogra said there is no ppc image, and then i testet edubuntu and i find it cool [05:32] ppc rocks! it's a pity Apple will no longer use them === zakame [n=zak@ubuntu/member/zakame] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"] [05:32] hahaha [05:32] because it is so simple to install a running ltsp === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu [05:33] indeed [05:33] and i find that the idea behind ebuntu is cool [05:34] and so i decide to suppport edubuntu on fairs [05:35] in germany [05:35] juliux: thx for that help [05:35] mhz, what do you do on daily basis?

As i do not want to work for stuff I do not like or share ideas with, I decided to spend my savings (turning to zero pretty soon, about 1 month) on stuff I do believe in: Free access to Knowledge and Technology. [05:38] ah cool === Katsumoto [n=teraflop@bbned225-210-100.dsl.hccnet.nl] has joined #edubuntu [05:41] juliux: but the volunteering has some huge CONS if you have family. My wife is telling me: where's the money in Free as in Freedom :D [05:45] mhz, i know that [05:46] so some months ago, I started to motivate a small group of friends to work together on www.tecnocimiento.cl [05:47] good night =) [05:47] c ya [05:48] mhz, my girlfriend everytime tell me that she want to have time with me [05:49] hehehe, that too [05:49] mhz, i do too match for gnome and ubuntu in germany [05:49] excellent [05:49] there's a GNOME devel community here === ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089F0BC.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu [05:52] mhz, at the moment i am on the linuxworldexpo in frankfurt and make a gnome/ubuntu both [05:53] wow! sounds cool to have so much happening there [05:54] mhz, hm === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.46.163.254] has joined #edubuntu [06:08] highvoltage: nice to see ya === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu [06:16] mhz: hi mhz === ryanbisd [n=ryan@216.62.85.65] has joined #edubuntu [06:18] howdy guys...

I work for a school district [06:25] and we use ad [06:25] im setting up edubuntu to use as a terminal server. [06:25] all the students have their own logins [06:26] thru ad [06:26] all I want on it, is to use Icewm.. and firefox [06:26] thats it === P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@200.37.110.244] has joined #edubuntu === Katsu [n=bla@bbned225-210-100.dsl.hccnet.nl] has joined #edubuntu [06:32] hello [06:32] I'm trying to install the linux version of Java runtime env. [06:32] it's a self extracting file it says [06:33] take the one from multiverse, unless you urgently need the newest ... [06:33] no I just want it to work properly :) [06:33] it comes preconfigured for the firefox plugin etc ... no need to fiddle with it [06:34] then thats the way to go... its tested and all config stuff is already done in the package [06:34] Katsu: which java runtime are you trying? [06:35] hmm it said I had to manually dl the java runtime app. in order to display certain things [06:35] Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 5 [06:35] that one. [06:35] the package from multiverse is way easier ... === neurogeek [n=neurogee@200.93.35.152] has joined #edubuntu [06:36] mhz, ping [06:36] jeje [06:36] you dont have to modify files in etc, move parts around to get the plugin working etc [06:36] mhz, how are you doing??

[06:37] Can't really find it I guess...or I just overlooked something [06:37] mhz, great, tired as well, but everything in order [06:37] ogra_: mayb he means the name of the package to be apt-getted or gotten? :D [06:38] mhz, check your email.. strusberg should have sent you an email about the event at Maracaibo [06:38] neurogeek: in order? really?

[06:40] we dont use xdmcp on ubuntu.... [06:41] ryanbisd: are you sure you want xdmcp? edubuntu doesn't use it. [06:41] for ltsp? [06:41] we use ssh tunneling [06:42] indeed if you like the old insecure way, you can use xdmcp with gdm ... needs some tweakage though [06:42] ogra_: what's the best way to connect from an existing fat client system to an edubuntu server through ssh tunneling? [06:42] highvoltage, probably a script ... [06:42] have a look at ldm ... [06:42] aah. [06:42] ok. [06:42] the connection routines from there can easily be adapted === mwest [n=mwest@tsl.uct.ac.za] has joined #edubuntu [06:43] is it setup automatically in edubuntu? to work with ltsp? [06:43] i'll put our ltsp in bzr this week, so you can easily check out the branch from there [06:43] ryanbisd, yup [06:43] nearly 100% automatic [06:43] see: http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes [06:45] installing edubuntu is mainly answering 5 questions, waiting ~1h and adjust /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (if needed) and youre done [06:45] ogra_: how's bzr like, you like it? [06:45] yes [06:45] /nick ogra :) [06:45] :-P [06:45] :) [06:46] have a trxy with bzr .... it has a real cool gui vizualization of the branches and merges of a tre [06:46] e [06:46] it finally made me understand the process :) and its way easier to use than bazaar [06:47] 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] cool, i want better understanding too. [06:47] even the merges confused me. [06:48] deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~jbailey/snapshot/bzr/ ./ [06:48] ^^^ dapper package [06:48] install bzr and bzrk === highvoltage copies and pastes that into text editor [06:50] highvoltage, then try: bzr viz http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/student-control-panel-0.1/ [06:58] ogra: is it possible to play .avi files? [06:58] if so, I need plugins for it...where can I find those? === Katsu apologizes for his noobness :p [06:58] out of the box there are only free codecs installed ... [06:59] Katsu: try mplayer (afaik) [06:59] you find all the nonfree stuff in multiverse ... look for gstreamer-plugins [06:59] or even install the totem-xine backend ... [06:59] or mplayer as mhz said [07:00] it uses Totem player as a default [07:00] yes [07:01] so totem-xine does only change the backend and you dont need a gazillion plugins :) [07:01] totem default needs all the gstreamer backends === ryanbisd [n=ryan@216.62.85.65] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"] [07:01] neurogeek: wow! the email got listed with date Nov 7th [07:02] so either I missed it or he has a little issue with 'date' [07:04] neurogeek: Ricardo asks me to cover the air tickets Chile-Venezuela. He can take care of 'me' from there. [07:04] neurogeek: *sigh* [07:05] neurogeek: believe me, I am so willing to be there. Esp. for the Instituto Latinoamericano de Tecnologias Libres [07:12] hmm where can I get this totem-xine [07:12] universe [07:12] apt-get install totem-xine [07:12] just use synaptic and enable all the additional repositorys [07:13] then search for it [07:13] well, that too [07:13] :) [07:13] doubleclick and click apply [07:13] click-click [07:13] hmm do I need to be logged into root? [07:13] there is no root :) [07:14] we use sudo all over the place ... [07:14] E: Kon het vergrendelingsbestand '/var/lib/apt/lists/lock' niet openen - open (13 Permission denied) [07:14] so in the gui, if a password dialog pops up, just give your password [07:15] yes [07:15] and in terminal put sudo in front === mhz is offline for a while === mhz is now known as mhz_offline [07:16] sudo apt-get install totem-xine [07:16] asks for a pass [07:16] but I can't enter anything [07:16] you just dont see anything ;) [07:16] ah. [07:17] enter your pw and hit enter [07:17] thats why i normally not refer to commandline in support :) [07:18] hmm is says it' either can't find the totem-xine application or it's just not there. [07:18] libtotem-plparser0 should be an option it says [07:18] do you have universe enabled ? [07:19] dont know where to see that. [07:19] *noob* [07:20] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy universe multiverse [07:20] ^^^ this line should be in /etc/apt/sources.list without a # sign in front [07:20] alternatively use synaptic [07:21] System->Settings->Synaptic [07:21] open Settings->Package sources from the menu [07:22] and add the missing ones ... [07:35] right I searched for totem-xine...I found it..it says it's installed [07:35] when I click Package I dont have an option to upgrade it.. [07:36] it has agreen square in front ? [07:36] yes it has [07:37] hmm, and you cant play avi files ? [07:39] nope [07:40] hmm, works here [07:40] are you sure its avi, not wma or something ? [07:40] 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] the evil codecs are in the w32codecs package we cant ship [07:41] you might need to install the corresponding plugins." [07:41] ah [07:41] totem-xine shouldnt say such things ... [07:41] but try to install w32codecs [07:42] which can be found in the synaptic package manager? [07:42] nope [07:42] it is highly illegal, we cant ship it [07:42] ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb [07:42] ah.

[07:50] ohk [07:50] Guys, what about migrating to edubuntu from testing now? [07:52] ok its installed [07:52] still gives that same error. [07:52] weird. [07:54] paolob, ` [07:54] sudo dpkg -i /tmp/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb [07:54] paolob, err that should be a ? [07:55] paolob, you want to migrate from etch to edubuntu ? [07:55] (edubuntu breezy to be precise) [08:01] sry ogra, but I have very little knowledge about linux. [08:02] I have dl-ed nvidia display drivers for linux. it's in my /home/ dir [08:02] noo [08:02] what would the command line be to install it? [08:02] we have a package ;) [08:02] ooh [08:02] oke [08:02] lol [08:02] make sure linux-restricted-modules is installed [08:03] additionally install nvidia-glx for the non module stuff [08:04] I have that installed yes: 3 appz, all have a green mark [08:04] ah installing :) [08:05] thanks again :P [08:07] put a line reading nvidia in /etc/modules [08:08] and change "nv" to "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:08] then reboot and you should see the nvidia logo [08:13] so I installed nvidia-glx [08:15] Section "Device" [08:15] Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] " [08:15] Driver "nv" [08:15] BusID "PCI:1:0:0" [08:15] that's what it says [08:16] change nv to nvidia [08:16] and make sure the modulename nvidia is in /etc/modules [08:16] oke, wasn't sure if that was what u meant :) [08:18] hm opened xorg.conf with gedit [08:18] can't seem to add/remove words [08:19] did you use sudo ? [08:20] done [08:22] I don't have an /etc/modules dir === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:30] mhz, hello!! [08:30] re [08:33] mhz, so.. what do you think of the proposal for Maracaibo? [08:33] I love it [08:33] it's just that I have no funds I can use for the travel [08:33] (so far) [08:34] mhz, I hope you can go [08:34] every single cent we have collected among some volunteers is being saved for the Edubuntu Chilean Tour [08:34] neurogeek: I know I must be there [08:34] I know it is the time [08:35] we are in timeline that we need to push harder [08:35] LA is getting too much influence from propiatary technology fans and patents guys [08:35] hmm [08:35] mhz, yes.. and strusberg has some plans for education, it would be really nice we could get together and talk about some projects [08:35] apparently the graphical X server won't work [08:36] now ubuntu won't reboot properly anymore [08:36] neurogeek: that's my point [08:36] I can login with my name+pass [08:36] neurogeek: I asked strusberg for a more formal email I can paste and forward to Emabajador de Venezuela en Chile, just in case they have some funds for this [08:37] neurogeek: I asked him to describe why it is important for us to be together [08:37] Katsumoto: but? [08:37] mhz, No prob. He is giving a class right now, he'll be reading that email in no time [08:38] cool [08:38] I'd like to pay the embassy a visit tomorrow [08:38] I tried to re-edit the file again: cd gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf [08:38] Katsumoto, thats a file, not a dir [08:39] (the /etc/modules) [08:39] Katsumoto, i think you meant sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:39] yes, so any clue how I can fix it? [08:39] yes thats what I meant [08:39] gedit wont work without gui# [08:39] use nano [08:40] ok [08:40] Katsumoto, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:40] but: sudo modprobe nvidia && /etc/init.d/gdm restart [08:40] should do it too [08:40] the module isnt loaded [08:41] oh, there is a sudo missing [08:41] but: sudo modprobe nvidia && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [08:41] will work [08:41] goodnight ogra (and other edubunteros) [08:41] night highvoltage === bdoin [n=coudoin@home.gcompris.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:48] heh, with that cmd line it says: there is no such device [08:49] lsmod |grep nvidia [08:49] does that give any output ? [08:49] lets see [08:50] oh, maybe not nvidia? [08:51] hmm, riva tnt2 ... thats very old... [08:51] how about dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [08:51] wont help with the module [08:51] yeh riva tnt2 is very old :P [08:51] 32mb [08:51] the x config is fine already [08:51] and no lsmod doesn't give anything. [08:52] guess I really screwed up somehow [08:52] nope [08:52] do: apt-cache search nvidia-legacy [08:53] it should give some output [08:53] you need the legacy module which is in linux-restricted-modules-....-legacy [08:54] and nvidia-glx-legacy === mhz has only ati [08:55] heh [08:56] apt-cache search nvidia-legacy: gave nothing [08:56] you need the restricted archive enbled [08:57] lol. === Katsumoto is clueless [08:58] just change back /etc/X11/xorg.conf from "nvidia" to "nv" :) [08:58] then your X server will work again [08:59] yes that's what I was thinkin...but apparently when I do: sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf [08:59] I get a blank page... [08:59] the X11 is capitalized :) [08:59] k. [09:04] righ, changed it back to normal. how do I save the changes? just do alt f4 ? [09:04] i'm no nano user ... but i gess ctrl-k [09:04] ^G ^X, those symbols I have no clue which keys that are on my kb :P [09:04] ah [09:04] ok [09:04] the little ^ means control [09:05] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart should bring you back to a gui login [09:07] ctl+K means cut text [09:07] ^J = justify [09:07] might be that one?
