[12:46] there are none [12:47] thats the list we worked out with the teachers at the first edubuntu summit ... [12:47] we'll have another summit (i hope) for dapper+1 [12:48] the prob is that i'm already at 680MB with this list ... there is not much space left [12:48] cool [12:49] i'd love to drop th ekdeedu stuff if there were some equivlent in gnome ... then i could get rid of the kdelibs and the kde language packs ... they take a hell lot of space === Absorto likes kde. [12:50] Absorto, yes, but mixing gnome and KDE is not a good idea space wise [12:51] amU, is probably building a kedubuntu ... [12:51] good idea [12:52] ogra, now that you mention it... how would one go about removing all things gnome now that i've setup kubuntu-destkop? [12:52] remove th elowest level... i.e. look for libgtk or libgnome ... [12:53] it will take the depending stuff with it [12:53] let's see... [12:56] why, that seems about right! removing libgnome2-0... [12:58] Absorto: how did you install kde ? do you use kdm ? [12:59] mherweg, i apt-got kubuntu-desktop. And yes, kdm. [12:59] ok [01:00] ogra, we are just talking at work here about including some education software and the lead developer has just about vetoed any kde libs [01:00] heh [01:00] that gets hard ... kdeedu is a great suite .... [01:00] yes [01:00] have you looked at childsplay (I haven't, just wondering) [01:00] yes [01:01] how does it compare to gcompris?

I was thinking i could use nss-mysql to take care of authentication etc. and with a P4 and 256MB ram this clients aren't very thin. [01:17] now it starts to download everything again :-( i need some kind of proxy [01:19] Absorto: knoppix terminalserver is for diskless fat clients [01:19] mherweg, i tried that, but its knoppix flavour.

[01:33] i know [01:34] the prob in breezy is (as you see on all the error mesages while booting) that we install a normal bases system [01:34] for dapper i made a lot of tweaks to make a real minimal system out of it ... [01:35] indeed you have to pay for a default ubuntu kernel and 100% X autodetection... [01:35] i see [01:35] as well as hrdware detection in general [01:36] the advantage is that you can plug in *every* client into ubuntu ... [01:36] classic ltsp boots in less than 20sec [01:36] but has a non modular kernel and no X detection [01:38] compare http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/edubuntu/breezy-20051113-1.png with http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/edubuntu/dapper-20051205-1.png , thats my work of the last weeks ... [01:40] ic [01:43] we'll cut down the X detection by about 10 sec and we'll achieve ~15sec from the normal ubuntu bootprocess speedup going on ...

[03:11] Lord_Athur: usually, you have to make sure the /cd dir is not being used by someone [03:11] using what? [03:11] or kill the program that is using it [03:11] then, you'll be able to umount it [03:11] then, how can I know what's using it? [03:11] hmmm, good question [03:12] jajaja [03:12] if you are the only user... [03:12] simply changing to your home dir will do [03:12] and the root [03:13] I work more as root [03:13] ??????????/ [03:13] Lord_Athur: you should not do that [03:13] why? [03:13] esp. if you dont know how to stop and umount your cd :D [03:13] my user is not in the sudo group [03:14] this does not allow me to work very well [03:14] Lord_Athur u using edubuntu now?

[03:21] and if you change the boot order is the same thing? [03:22] mhz: what boot order? [03:22] I boot all the clients together [03:23] per clients.

[06:38] geepers, i would've gotten impatient after 10 minutes. [06:38] Some client never arrive to present the gui [06:38] i have no idea, sounds rather like a network thing ... [06:39] sounds like some kind of lookup not happening, to take a guess. [06:39] I think the problem is in the nfs script, in the nfsmount instrccions: I may guess it is expecting something like a IP address. [06:39] did you enter a hostname instead? [06:40] I saw another strange thing too: the server's syslog reports me that every client, after receiving its IP, negotiates another during the first stages of the boot. Is it normal? [06:40] yep. [06:41] etherboot or pxe will request an address. [06:41] and when linux starts up, it will request an address again. [06:41] highvoltage: but then, what of the two is going to be the client's IP? [06:42] both, they should be the same. [06:42] ?!? [06:42] dhcpd will create a lease period for that client based on the network card's mac address [06:42] so it will get the same IP address both times when it requests an address. [06:43] no, they are different! [06:43] that's very, very strange. [06:43] I tried with only one client. Syslog shows: [06:43] dhcp: DHCPDISCOVER [06:44] dhcp: DHCPOFFER 192.168.0.250 [06:44] dhcp: DHCPREQUEST 192.168.0.250 [06:44] dhcp: DHCPACK 192.168.0.250 [06:44] mountd: authenticated mountrequest from 192.168.0.177 for /opt/ltsp/i386 [06:45] dhcp: DHCPOFFER 192.168.0.249 [06:45] dhcp: DHCPREQUEST 192.168.0.249 [06:45] dhcp: DHCPACK 192.168.0.249 [06:45] dhcp: DHCPREQUEST 192.168.0.249 [06:45] dhcp: DHCPACK 192.168.0.249 [06:45] [06:46] What does it mean? In particular that 177 from mountd in the middle.... [06:46] i don't know. i wish i could be there to check in person, i haven't seen that before. [06:47] was only one client switched on at this point? [06:47] and do you only have one dhcp server running on the network? [06:49] highvoltage: there was only one client, and the server is one computer. [06:50] highvoltage: the server has a /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and a /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf . Are there two dhcpd servers? [06:52] dont touch the latter .... [06:52] its the generic dhcpd file ... [06:53] what ip did the booted client have in your above example ? [06:53] apparently 192.168.0.177 mounted the rootfs [06:54] so i'd guess the clients ip was the same [06:54] ogra: that was before the nfs-premount delay [06:54] the nfs-* scripts are just empty dummys [06:55] the problem must be somethjing else [06:55] ogra: but they are there, and are executed! They are in (let me try to remember) /usr/share/......./scripts/nfs-*** [06:56] look into such a script... [06:56] and they are not executed from /usr/share ;) [06:56] ogra: actually I saw the script i have the delay in there [06:56] its empty ... [06:56] I am not on the server, the server still isn't on the internet [06:57] none of the nfs-* scripts have any content ... [06:58] after the nfs-* scrpts are executed the nfs script is run, but that also only contains one line that matters ... [06:58] ogra: but I _did_ open the script/nfs file, and it wasn't empty. It called script/nfs-top, then script/nfs-premount, then had a nfsmount , and then called script/nfs-bottom [06:58] read what i wrote [06:59] ogra: but then what the hell did I see? [07:00] the nfs script (note, not the nfs-* scripts) has one valid line, thats just calling nfsmount [07:00] I think that the delay is there [07:00] the rest is empty and thought for possible enhancements in the future [07:01] yes, but that can only be the nfsmount command ... [07:01] which would either indicate a network problem or something being wrong with the nfs server [07:01] How can I get more information on that nfsmount? Syslog doesn't tell me anything till the mount is done. I must understand why it lasts so much [07:02] you have the mount attempt in your log above ... [07:02] mountd: authenticated mountrequest from 192.168.0.177 for /opt/ltsp/i386 [07:02] Actually I could see various DHCPOFFER/REQUEST/ACK with various IP [07:02] ignore that === Lord_Athur [i=alejandr@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [07:03] the only intresting piece is the mountrequest line [07:03] or do you run any other dhcp server in the network ? [07:03] ogra: but apparently the client doesn't find a valid IP to mount, apparently it tryed many IP before finding the right one [07:04] ogra: when I installed edubuntu I was in a net with this pc, I think it has a dhcp server... let me see [07:04] tzhere is only one mount attempt in your log above [07:04] ~$ ps ax|grep dhcp [07:04] 7584 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q eth0 [07:04] Yes I have [07:05] better, I had when I first installed edubuntu and had it working with a client [07:05] now the server only is connected to its clients [07:07] the above looks like you have running two ... [07:09] ogra: i.e I have two dhcpd server on the same edubuntu server? [07:09] that doesnt work [07:09] nope, i mean you have two servers running in the net [07:11] ogra: but the server isn't connected to the net :-) [07:14] what ip does the server have ? === \sh_away is now known as \sh === Lord_Athur [i=alejandr@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [07:17] ogra: 192.168.0.15 [07:18] I put that address because I think to connect it in the future to a local net where the IP 192.168.0.1-10 are already in use [07:18] thats fine [07:19] ogra: how can I debug the nfsmount process? [07:20] thats [07:20] how a normal dhcp handshake looks on n edubuntu http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5486 [07:24] ogra: I can try to bring here a copy of syslog. Or is some better log file? [07:24] gaim is so buggy [07:24] *crap* ! [07:25] paolob: you can paste it anywhere [07:25] but i'm running out of time [07:25] we have a developer meeting at 3am (my time) today and i have to prepare a lot [07:25] ogra: anyway it will be tomorrow [07:26] use pastebin, as the topic suggests === paolob thank ogra and all the other edubuntu developpers [07:26] ogra: 3am? poor ogra :D [07:27] yup, rotating time ...

[09:01] mainly LTSP [09:01] the educational apps [09:02] I don't know that is [09:02] what that is* [09:02] and different artwork [09:02] oh === TheMafia [n=TheMafia@12-221-115-249.client.insightBB.com] has joined #edubuntu [09:02] the linux terminal server project [09:02] by default the CD installs a terminal server you can use with diskless clients in a classroom [09:02] oh I see. the artwork does look like its for kids [09:02] cool [09:04] ogra,will we be able to make our own graphical enviroment for edubuntu? [09:05] someone with an unique and special artwork [09:05] can this be possible as an official edubuntu project? [09:05] not offical, but thats possible ... [09:06] :D [09:07] then, does edubuntu want to continue with gnome officially ? [09:07] how about edkubuntu? [09:08] edubuntu with kubuntu? [09:08] yeah, perhaps! [09:08] I'd be same to edubuntu with gnome [09:09] kde & gnome are of other projects of ubuntu, It would not be in edubuntu [09:09] not officially ... [09:09] but feel free to create it ;) [09:09] yeah, i guess you can have it if you really want it. In fact, I do. I installed edubuntu and am enjoying ltsp much. But then installed kubuntu-desktop and am in bliss. [09:09] :D [09:10] is there a way to download a version of edubuntu to modify? [09:10] cdimage.ubuntu.com [09:10] grab the iso and modify it [09:12] mmm [09:12] haven't you got a wiki page (or a howto) to visit and learn about modifying distros? [09:13] i gave it to you ... 6 or 8 times in the last 2 weeks ... [09:13] search the wiki, for install CD customization [09:14] :D [09:15] But i am asking about change programs create other delete any applications, change the distro and save the new one in a cd [09:15] yes [09:15] But i am asking about change programs, create other, delete any applications. change the distro and save the new one in a cd [09:15] exactly [09:16] ? [09:16] what's that? [09:16] you grab the iso and modify it ... [09:16] add/remove apps etc [09:17] :D [09:17] jejeje [09:17] I will not ask it again [09:17] :P [09:17] just read the wiki page any try it ;) === hvanegas [n=hvanegas@200.75.68.88] has left #edubuntu [] [09:19] jejejei will [09:21] I have a question! I read in ltsp that you can run apps localy. I don't want to run nis, I want nss-mysql. So, for the time being, I just added a line to my /etc/passwd and created a /etc/shadow with my encrypted password. I then tried to mount /home from the app server and... well, I couldn't find an easy way to do it! [09:22] so i just added a line in ltsp-client-setup, to append the appropiate line in fstab. It worked! [09:22] but I don't understand how. 'cause /etc/exports says nothing about /home! how did it mount it if it is not being exported? [09:23] is it more of that ssh tunneling magic? [09:26] nope... ssh is unrelated [09:27] then... how does it do it? [09:27] i'm pretty sure you broke it already with installing KDM [09:27] well... I didn't! but i had to hack a bit. [09:27] so you wont be using any ssh tunnel anymore ... [09:27] oh, yeah, no ssh tunneling anymore [09:27] but... what about the nfs? i don't understand! [09:27] me neither [09:28] well, anyways, it mounted /home ro so I had to modify /etc/exports to add rw [09:28] but then, even tho it mounted rw it was terribly slow. [09:29] well, i did this: i chrooted to /opt/ltsp/i386 and apt-got kubuntu-desktop [09:29] then I booted the client and logged in. I added startkde to .xinitrc and ran startx -- :1 [09:29] I had a terribly slow kde session! [09:30] sure [09:30] you dont run *any* ltsp anymore [09:30] i suspected the portmap, since I saw some errors on boot [09:30] you run a netbooting fullclinet [09:30] well.. yes. I do. Did I just reinvent the wheel? [09:31] nope [09:31] highvoltage does the same for his thick clients... [09:31] well... you see, this clients arent quite thin, having pentium 4s and 256 mb ram... [09:31] but you need a big client for that [09:31] thats not much [09:31] yeah, i have 'em! [09:31] well, it's enough to run kde :) [09:32] they will break if you dont add a kind of network swapping [09:32] oh, I thought so. [09:32] I will. [09:32] they will just shut down if the 356M are used up [09:32] *256 [09:32] just shut down? wow! [09:32] yup [09:32] sound pretty interesting to me :) [09:32] the kernel has not enough ram anymore, so it kills the X server [09:33] with no warning [09:33] just like that? awesome! [09:33] i highly suggest you have a look at nbd [09:33] ok, I'll add some swap, i think that shouldn't be too difficult. [09:33] what is nbd? [09:33] it will be slow .... [09:34] so slow that you will need 1-2 minutes to move the mousepointer from one corner of the screen to the other [09:34] but it will not shut down [09:35] nbd = network block device [09:36] kernel 2.6 has no other option to swap over the network anymore [09:38] but what about the swapfiles mounted thru nfs? [09:38] not anymore [09:38] that was an awful hack to kernel 2.4 [09:38] doesnt work wth 2.6 [09:39] hm! [09:39] the way to go is nbd ... [09:39] we have it in the ubuntu kernel by default ... [09:40] the ltsp scripts are prepared to use it [09:43] or I could use local swapfiles... [09:45] perhaps I can mount the fat32 and create a swapfile there? [09:45] sure, but then you need harddisks and could make local installs and just mount /home from a cerntral server [09:45] theres no support for swapfiles whatsoever? [09:45] sure there is [09:45] just not over nfs... [09:45] yeah, i have drives. Its just much easier to admin if they net-boot. === francoisb [n=francois@lns-bzn-32-82-254-13-170.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #edubuntu [09:47] Bonsoir tous [09:48] hello! [09:48] brb [09:49] Trying in french first : J'ai install edubuntu dans une ecole de 3 classes avec 3 utilisateurs. Ets il possible de connecter 2 clients avec le meme utilisateur? [09:51] Trying in english : is it possible to use 2 thin client with the same user id? [09:51] there is a bug in gnome-settings-daemon which will break the themes ... [09:51] its solved in the next release of gnome ... [09:52] I've noticed it. [09:52] so yes, but you have to live without themes on the second login [09:53] I've tried to use Openoffice and the two text opened in the same screen. [09:53] indeed, its the same desktop ... [09:54] francoisb: the same is with gstreamer apps(also totem) [09:54] Wil it be corrected? [09:54] is it possible to use same homedir for 2 users? [09:54] francoisb: it is quite hard to do it [09:54] francoisb: thats no bug [09:55] one would have to change the whole program, let's say it is not the purpose of the programm to run on two machines with one user [09:55] if you log in with the same user twice you are logged in to the same desktop twice [09:55] one could try to use same homedir for 2 users [09:56] or a shread folder [09:56] shread? [09:56] shared [09:56] ah [09:56] yes [09:56] I thought that different processes would sent to the two IP of the thin clients. [09:56] there will be problems with chown [09:56] but using the same user twice on the same machine gives you the same desktop, thats expected behavior and logical ... [09:57] nope, everything runs on the server [09:57] only the display is exported to the clients [09:58] imagine a PC with two monitors, keyboards and mice ... [09:58] (or more than two) [09:59] It's for pupils aged 7, I don't want to create one user per person. [10:01] So, I think I'll make one user per client, with a shared folder... [10:02] yup [10:02] sounds sane === mherweg [n=mherweg@i577ADC9C.versanet.de] has joined #edubuntu [10:06] Another question : is it planed to have a preconfigured samba? [10:07] a samba server ? [10:07] Just to exchange files with a Windows PC. [10:08] you can use nautilus as client for a windows PC/network [10:08] and the samba server is also installed by default [10:09] just configure it with the shared folders admin [10:10] it would be a bit pointless to have a preconfigured samba server if you want to integrate it in a windows network .... you need to adjust it anyway to work with the existing net [10:11] Installed, yes, but there are lines to write (chmod for a samba folder, create a samba user.) [10:11] nope [10:11] just use the shares admin tool from the menu [10:11] no need to touch configs [10:12] All right, I'll try [10:12] have to reboot, bbl [10:14] Goodbye. === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [10:22] re === blue-frog [n=james@81.56.254.229] has joined #edubuntu === ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089DBF1.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu === Lord_Athur [n=Lord@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [11:59] hi === BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #edubuntu === Lord_Athur [n=Lord@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu
