loogaroois this a bug: if you install sabayon in breezy (without creating a default profile), /etc/X11/Xsession does't work longer12:12
ograworks here 12:12
ogradid you edit that file before installing sabayon ? 12:12
loogaroocould be12:12
ograthat might be it ...12:13
loogaroodid you create a profile for your user?12:13

ogranope, i tested sabayon for inclusion and found out it doesnt work, so i didnt include it :)12:13
ograit must work on thin clients to include it by default, else its useless ...12:14
ograbut its principle collides with our ltsp 12:14

loogaroowe, have some time left, for dapper12:18
ogranot much though12:18
ograupstream version freeze is deadline for new stuff12:18
ograand my personal ocus is on keeping the edubuntu metapackages working and to improve ltsp ... so i dont have much time left for other development12:20

loogarooare you again searching for new helpers?12:22
ograi'm always searching for helpers :)12:23
loogaroo:)12:23

ograYagisan does a lot with vmware12:28
loogaroovmware 5 has pxe support12:28

ograahm, nice12:28

loogaroohave ubuntu something like a mentors-project, too?12:30
ograwe have MOTU12:30
ogra(masters of the universe)12:30
ograits similar to mentors12:31
ograbut more team oriented12:31
ograsince we dont have personalized packages in ubuntu, everyone can work on everything he likes12:31
ogratechnically everyone can submit packages to http://tiber.tauware.de/, where they get reviewed by MOTU and get sponsored uploads12:32

Burgworkogra, you awake still?01:23
ograBurgwork, partially01:23
Burgworkogra, my company is interested in making TeachersPet work on multiseat boxes01:23
ogranice01:24
ograhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/student-control-panel-0.1/01:24
ograthere is my bzr archive 01:24
ograits far from being complete or anything01:24
ograhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/edubuntu/student-control-panel_shot.png01:25
Burgworkok01:25
ograyou can easily replace the top graphics with a company logo01:25
Burgworkwhere is that tool going to be as of Dapper?01:25
Burgworkand is there anything in the design that needs to be rethought to handle multiseat instead of ltsp?01:26
ograi hope the three basic finctions, logout, start apps for selected students and mke vnc connection to the currenly selected student work ...01:26
BurgworkI didn't see anything01:26
ograthe grabbing of the login connections must be handled differently01:26
Burgworkyep01:27
ograone guy already made a gentoo port :)01:27
Burgworkbut the fundamental design is not different01:27
ogranope01:27
Burgworkok. we are just in the preliminary stages of looking at what we can do, so no promises yet01:28
ograif you look at the code of http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/student-control-panel-0.1/student-control-panel all thats needed is an adjustment of the poll_userlist function01:29
ograits trivial to change that for other implementations01:29
ograand its not my highest priorty, so any help will be welcome01:30
BurgworkI might even have enough python vodoo to make that work01:30
ograso just bzr get it ;)01:30
Burgworkmy time is about to get very very tight, due to other non-work Ubuntu stuff, but I will try01:31
ograif you run into probs, just ping me 01:32
Burgworkok01:32
Burgworkogra, just a gui comment. It might be better to move the logout student button to beside the takeover student one01:35
Burgworkand at the bottom, have a logout all and takeover all button01:35
ograthats not how it works ;)01:35
Burgworkoh01:36
ograthe logout button logs out *all selected* students01:36
Burgworkhmm01:36
ograbe it only one or all01:36
ograso it applies to the list on the left ...01:36
Burgworkhow often is the teach going to logging out only a subset of students?01:37
ograthe same will happen with the execute button01:37
Burgworks/teach/teacher01:37
ograyou can just ctrl-a them ...01:37
Burgworkyes01:37
ograbut the logic is that the takeover button only applies to the currently shown student, and the other buttons allpy to the list on the left01:38
BurgworkI don't know enough about how teachers would actually use the tool to make a good judgement01:38
Burgworkthe reason I say move the buttons over is that then it is clear exactly what student you are affecting01:38
ograso the optical distinction is content vs list01:38
ograor list vs content to put it in the appropriate order01:39
ogratry the app and you will see what i mean ...01:40
Burgworkyes, I think I understand your thinking01:41
BurgworkI wish I knew how teachers actually would use it01:41
ograyes, me too :)01:41
ograi think if you have two students that misbehave and play an online game against each other, its nice to select just these two and kick them out ;)01:42
Burgworkyes01:42
ograthat was my initial idea ... 01:42
Burgworkbut at the same time, I am worried about the multiple selection thing01:42
Burgworkbecause the side only shows one01:42
ograthe last selscted one ...01:43
Burgworkugh01:43
Burgworklet me mock up my idea and  post to edubuntu-devel01:44
ograi wont add any more buttons, but i want the teacher to be able to kick students selective01:44
Burgworkget some more opinions01:44
ograi wont have the time to work on the gui ... i'm happy if i get the backend done before UVF (which is less than 4 weeks)01:44
Burgworkouch01:44
Burgworkagain, I might be able to muster my meager pygtk skills to do that01:45
ograsurely you can do that, but it wont happen if no gui guru steps up and integrates all the autouipdating of the gui right 01:45
Burgworkyep01:46
ograand i will in no case add a "populate userlist" button or something differently weird ;)01:46
ograjust to circumvent a usability issue i can solve as well n the next release :)01:46
Burgworkthat is crack01:46
ograthat is what all teacher tools do today01:47
BurgworkI have never seen one01:47
BurgworkI should start looking01:47
ograi havent found one without such buttons :)01:47
ogralook at controlaulas at gnomefiles.org01:47
ograits a horribly bloated but very powerful gui01:47
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
ograsadly its 100% written in gambas01:48
=== amu is now known as amU
Burgworkyes01:48
ograwhich i'll never touch and we wont have it in ubuntu main ever ... so no option...01:48
ograand then there is the ancient teacher tool .... in tkinter ....01:49
ograand a port of it in gtk1 ....01:49
Burgworkcontrolaulas looks like a mess01:49
ograand i think i also saw a port to gtk2 ...01:49
Burgworkwhat about teachertool, the k12ltsp one?01:49
ograthats the tkinter one ...01:50
ograwith a populate button for *every* list01:50
ogras-c-p is mainly based on it ... but without most of the crack01:50
Burgworkare there screenshots for that somewhere?01:51
ograi.e. i adopted the backend, made it work with our ltsp but added automation where possible ...01:51
ograhttp://www.grawert.net/TeacherTool.png01:52
Burgworkugh01:52
ograever button pops up another list (with its own populate list button indeed)01:52
ograor weird dialogs01:53
loogaroohow can I use a serial mouse on the thinclients?01:55
ograloogaroo, i fear that doesnt work ... i had several users that tried it, but it didnt work for them and i have no serial one to test01:56
ograin breezy its not implemented http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLtsConfParams but the patch we got for dapper didnt seem to work either :(01:57
ograi had someone here who tried to backport the patch ...01:57
ograloogaroo, you can look at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/ltsp/fixes/debian/ltsp-client.ltsp-client-setup.init01:58
loogaroook01:59
ograthere are lines for X_MOUSE_DEVICE and X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL01:59
ogratry to put them into /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup and add the options to your lts.conf file 01:59
ograbut i doubt it will work02:00
loogarooI will try this tomorrow02:06
loogaroothx, and good night02:07

kjcoleAlthough not necessarily ideal, the best attempt I'v seen at dealing with stuff like this was South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission.02:32
YagisanI know. And it all stared because some idiots decided that because most of us are non-islamic, they can do what they like to us02:32

kjcoleI'm an "out" atheist myself.  And I worry about where the US is going with regard to religious zealotry from any religion.02:33

mhzjsgotangco: not at all but this is not a wiki for you to play with, it's a wiki to share 'info' related to ubuntu02:41
Yagisanmhz: there isn't a difference.02:41
mhz?02:41
jsgotangcomhz, i think its just a matter of setting ground rules and letting people know. why not spearhead an ubuntu-wiki school just like what the motu does02:41
jsgotangcoi'm pretty sure people will like to attend that02:42
Yagisanit's a wiki, it can be abused because of that very fact02:42
mhzYagisan: if so, why stopping wiki spammers?02:42
mhzwikis have that freedom nature to share data02:43
jsgotangcomhz, we know its a social issue not a technical one02:44
mhzbut that does not mean anyone can wiki whatever they want (porno, mp3, advertising, etc)02:44
jsgotangcoa technical solution can easily be circumvented i'm sure you're very aware of that02:44

ograbut currently my focus is on the CDs, flight 2 is at the door, the isos need testing02:47

zhxi need a real ubuntu evangelist07:57
zhxedubuntu, specifically07:57
Burgworkzhx, what sort and why?08:02
zhxwell, i work with a computer company in town that runs a program called computers4kids08:03
zhxthat takes old donated systems and donates them to needy families08:04
zhxwe currently load windows 98 (volume license) on them, and ive gotten the board to consider ubuntu or edubuntu as an alternative08:04
zhxthese are generally going to school aged kids, and i think edubuntu would be infinitely superior for this purpose08:05
zhxover win98, that is08:05
Burgworkyes it probably would08:05
Burgworkwhere does the edubuntu evangelist come into the picture?08:05
zhxwell, i need a couple pointers on really selling this to the board08:06
zhx"not windows" isn't going to go over well08:06
zhxi'm also not familiar with ubuntu's compatibility with dialup modems08:06
Burgworkso you need to sell value to the board08:06
Burgworkdialup modems is kind of crappy08:06
zhxit seems linux has come a long way in that regard08:06
zhxbut im still worried08:06
Burgworksome of them work but they are a pain to configure08:06
zhxmost of these families, if they have internet connection at all, will be dialup08:06
zhxyeah thats what i was worried about08:06
zhxthats going to be a major hurdle08:07
BurgworkI recognize that08:07
Burgworkhowever, I don't consider it a deal killer08:07
Burgworkpeople only need to configure their modems once and they use the machine every day for  other things08:07
zhxthe modem in this one seems to have installed fine08:07
zhxi dont really have a means to test it here...08:07
zhxyeah, i think edubuntu is great for school aged kids08:08
zhxive been checking it out for a couple days now08:08
Burgworkhere is the value I would pitch to the board (I do sales, in case you care)08:08
zhxha okay08:08
Burgwork-virus free08:08
Burgwork-easy to setup08:08
Burgwork-designed for kids08:08
Burgworkdo you currently do support for the machines you hand out?08:09
zhxi dont think so08:09
Burgworkhere is the feedback I have heard about putting Linux on donated machines08:09
zhxok08:09
Burgworkusually about 50% come back and get windows on them08:09
zhxoi08:09
zhxthats the other thing i was afraid of08:09
zhxstill, 50%08:10
zhxhaha08:10
Burgworkbut that is fine, because the other half keeps their linux08:10
zhxyeah08:10
Burgworkand I consider that a net win08:10
zhxdefinitely08:10
zhxi believe very strongly in what ubuntu is doing08:10
zhxand thats why ive been on their case about adopting it08:10
BurgworkI would say this "Lets offer Ubuntu first and if then they want Windows, we give them 98"08:10
Burgworkbecause both have their places08:11
zhxmmhmm08:11
zhxthats the other thing im concerned about08:11
Burgworksadly08:11
zhxthese are generally very low end machines08:11
zhxour cpu "cutoff" is 400mhz08:11
zhxubuntu should run fine on 400mhz, right?08:11
Burgworkis that the lowest end or the highest end?08:11
zhxlowest08:11
Burgworkthat should be fine08:12
Burgworknot speedy but it will work08:12
zhxi think we generally do 128mbs ram08:12
zhxthis particular system has 19208:12
zhx677mhz cpu08:12
zhxand it seems to run just fine08:12
Burgwork128 is going to grind a little with OO.o but that is about it08:12
Burgworkand when dapper comes out, xubuntu should be in main08:12
Burgworkand edubuntu is already considering doing a lowend version for xubuntu08:13
zhxany sort of timeframe?08:13
BurgworkDapper will be released April 2006, unless the world ends08:13
zhxhaha08:13
zhxoh yeah thats right, 6 month releases08:14
Burgwork(K)(Ed)Ubuntu is released on a six month schedule08:14
zhxwell as it stands, i'm presenting this idea to the board first thursday of jan08:14
zhxso far im very impressed with edubuntu08:14
zhxi already have them offering several open source utilities on our win98 boxes08:15
zhxfirefox, thunderbird, openoffice, etc08:15
Burgworkthe thing that will sell them is value and pain, not features08:15
zhxwell pain is what im worried about with dialup modems08:15
Burgworkfind out what they would like to do better and then offer the features of edubuntu to solve those08:15
Burgworkhence creating value08:15
zhxsee, im not sure how our windows 98 license currently works08:16
zhxapparently we're allowed to install this on as many machines as  we please08:16
Burgworkyou probably have to give away the machines for  free08:16
Burgworkand you can install as many as you like08:16
Burgworkyou can probably also get win 2k licenses as well08:16
zhxmmhmm08:16
zhxim also worried the board will think people will be alienated08:17
Burgworkwhere do you live?08:17
zhxwyoming08:17
zhxoh, US08:17
BurgworkI live in Canada, don't worry08:17
zhxha08:17
zhxi really have to sell them on ubuntu's ease of install for us08:18
zhxand ease of use for the end user08:18
Burgworkbut in order for them to consider Ubuntu, it must be better than what they have and solve some of their problems08:18
zhxwe really HAVE no problems with win98 is the...problem08:19
Burgworkas long as it does that, minor issues like modems will not become major issues08:19
Burgworkmaybe not08:19
zhxi just believe that edubuntu will do more for the type of people we're giving these to08:19
zhxfamilies with young kids08:19
Burgworkso talk to some people that have just got the machines and ask them what they want to be better08:20
zhxright now, the machines we give out dont really have any applications with "creativity" or "education" in mind08:20
Burgworkexactly08:20
zhxwell,08:20
BurgworkPain can also include things they would like to do better08:20
zhxi would assume 9 out of 10 people are using these boxes for email, light web surfing08:20
zhxword processing08:20
zhxyou can do that sufficiently on either platform08:21
Burgworkyes, but feature parity will never win them over08:21
RichiH_shouldn't there have been a live cd last weekend?08:21
BurgworkRichiH_, no idea08:21
RichiH_Burgwork: it was a rhetorical question, there should ;)08:22
=== RichiH_ would want to have one in the next few days so he can mail it for Xmas
zhxright, which is why i have to sell them the idea that "ubuntu is better than windows"08:22
zhxkeep in mind i work for a microsoft business partner08:22
ogra__RichiH_: yes, but it was delayed some days, the first daily build (yet untested) came out today08:22
zhxso the fact that theyre considering this is unreal08:22
Burgworkzhx, I am lucky, I sell Linux for a living08:22
ogra__RichiH_: note that this is in heavy development, it might or might not work08:23
RichiH_ogra__: bleh08:23
RichiH_ogra__: but ok, i will take what i can get08:23
ogra__RichiH_: what do you expect after 1 month of development in a development release ? 08:23
RichiH_personally, i prefer vanilla ubuntu, but an edubuntu might be good for my sister's daughter08:23
RichiH_ogra__: being used to debian, not much ;p08:24
ogra__exactly ... 08:24
ogra__the current image will nothave edubuntu themes yet... and if it has the same bugs the install cd has, its nothing to give to a child yet ...08:25
ogra__i.e. gamin is totally broken ... so the menu doesnt work08:25
ogra__network cards dont come up by default 08:25
ogra__there might be language issues08:26
ogra__etc etc08:26
ogra__its really only a test build, we will release in april ...08:26
Burgworkzhx, if you want me to help you sell this to the board, feel free to contact me. corey.burger@gmail.com08:27
zhxdefinitely, will do08:27

John_at_LMiGood afternoon. I too, am looking some help with Edubuntu.08:51
John_at_LMiFor starters, a link for documentation. I've installed as workstation, logged in, and have a non-working mouse and no idea of how to even open a shell window.08:52
John_at_LMiAnyone else here and looking in besides mhz?08:54
mhzJohn_at_LMi: hi08:54
mhzJohn_at_LMi: did you check the EdubuntuInstallNotes in the wiki?08:55
mhzIIRC one guy also had some issues with mouse and were already solved08:55
mhz but I may be wrong08:55
John_at_LMiGood afternoon, mhz. I did check there, but found nothing like you describe. I'll look again now.08:55

ogra_testhi all09:13
ogra_testJohn_at_LMi, are you using a serial mouse ?09:14
ogra_testmhz, did you try lower resolutions for the gui ? 09:14
ogra_testlucasvo, look in /var/log/daemon.log09:14
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: I had the same problem :D09:14
ogra_testlucasvo, with the workstation version ? i doubt it09:15
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: can you do modprobe psmouse on the client?09:16
lucasvoogra_test: yes09:16
ogra_testJohn_at_LMi, to get a terminal window, try alt+F209:16
ogra_testand type gnome-terminal at the prompt09:16
ogra_testlucasvo, really ? i thought that was in ltsp ?? 09:17
ogra_teston a normal desktop psmouse usually loads fine09:17
lucasvoogra_test: no it was ubuntu ltsp09:17
ogra_testthats what i maen09:17
ogra_testmean09:17
lucasvoedubuntu-server I mean09:18
ogra_testthe normal desktop doesnt have this prob09:18
lucasvonot the ltsp package09:18
ogra_testoh, so not on the client ...09:18
lucasvoogra_test: it was on the ltsp client09:18
ogra_testyes, thats a known prob, but it doesnt happen on the desktop normally ...09:19
lucasvoah, I didn't read the "workstation install"09:19
lucasvoogra_test: I can't find anything in /var/log/daemon.log09:19
ogra_testthere was some race condition in the hardware detection of the client at boot ... 09:19
ogra_testlucasvo, there must be *anything* from the nfsd or statd09:20
ogra_testis your portmap running already ? 09:20
lucasvoogra_test: yes09:21
ogra_testhow does your /etc/exports look like ? 09:22
ogra_test/opt/ltsp       *(ro,no_root_squash,async) 09:22
lucasvo/opt/ltsp       *(ro,no_root_squash,async)09:22
ogra_testthis line should be in there (only one time)09:22
lucasvoyes it is there only one time09:23

lucasvoogra_test: yes I did09:23
ogra_testeeek09:23
ogra_testdont build the chroot if you upgrade09:24

lucasvoogra_test: I deleted the chroot09:25
lucasvobut _only_ the i38609:25
ogra_testtaht doesnt matter09:25
ogra_testthe /proc filesystem is still in /proc mounts for the chroot...09:26
ogra_testso all installing happens in the main system09:26
lucasvohuh?09:26
lucasvoI don't understand09:26
ogra_testyou cant just wipe the chroot 09:26
lucasvoehm, so what is with nfs?09:27
ogra_testyou have to chroot into it first and unmount /proc and /sys09:27
lucasvowhen I do what?09:27
ogra_testso if you run the build client script then, it tries to build a complete new system in / instead of /opt/ltsp09:28
lucasvoogra_test: really?09:28
ogra_testyep09:28
ogra_testdid your screen flash while building the chroot ? 09:28
lucasvowhat building chroot?09:28

lucasvoNOTE: Root directory /opt/ltsp/i386 already exists.  This might lead to problems.09:29
John_at_LMire. It was a PS/2 mouse, now i'm trying a serial mouse. I rebooted, hoping there was some auto-detect.09:30
lucasvo^^ what's the problem?09:30
ogra_testnever try to build a chroot on top of another09:30
lucasvoogra_test: I am not in chroot09:30
ogra_testlucasvo, ltsp-build-client is09:30
John_at_LMifound the terminal window, after finding ALT+F1 by mistake. :)09:30
lucasvoaha09:30
John_at_LMiso: I'm simply trying to make a mouse work. Is there some discovery/troubleshooting tool?09:31
lucasvoogra_test: building failed because of crappy connection... so I redid without deleting09:31
ogra_testJohn_at_LMi, no, that wiont help, seems you really have the same problem lucasvo had, even if i never saw that in workstation installs09:31
John_at_LMii notice there's no /dev/mouse.09:31
ogra_testthere doesnt need to09:31
John_at_LMimodprobe psmouse: i'll try that now.09:31
ogra_testput the word psmouse into the file /etc/modules09:31
ogra_testthat will solve it09:31
John_at_LMiogra: i'll try that now.09:36
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: it is the same but it add's the module permanently09:37
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: so if modprobe works, it should work as well09:37
ogra__you need to restart X after modprobing ...09:38
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: ctrl+alt+backspace09:38
ogra__thats why i generally dont give that advice, its just wasting time09:38
lucasvoogra__: ehm so what isn't working with my nfs :P09:39
ogra__because you completely wiped your system ? 09:39
lucasvoogra__: I didn't09:40

John_at_LMiso, ogra: first, thank you.09:48
John_at_LMi2nd, i still have no mouse. :)09:48
John_at_LMiwhat i did: first, modprobe psmouse.09:48
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: try lsmod | grep psmouse09:48
John_at_LMithen, looked at /etc/modules, and saw that psmouse was there  already.09:48
John_at_LMiso i restarted.09:48
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: what is in your Xorg.conf?09:49
lucasvoogra__: rm -rf /opt/ltsp/i38609:49
John_at_LMii'll try lsmod, and look at the Xorg.conf09:49

ogra__lucasvo: first chroot to /opt/ltsp/i386 and unmount /proc and /sys09:50
lucasvoJohn_at_LMi: http://pastebin.com/464227 < there should be something like this in you /etc/X11/xorg.conf09:50

ogra__John_at_LMi thats fine09:51
lucasvoogra__: but I did :(09:51

ogra__and you are sure the mouse works ?09:53
lucasvoogra__: I accidentaly deleted the chroot, how can I build a new one/09:53
lucasvo?09:53
ogra__just make the dir /opt/ltsp09:53
ogra__the rest is done by the build-client script09:53
lucasvoso I MAY run build-client without being in chroot?09:54
ogra__nope09:54
ogra__just run it with sudo on the server 09:54
lucasvo nope?09:55
ogra__the chroot is the dir /opt/ltsp/i386, you cant be in it if it doesnt exist09:55

lucasvoogra__: I will set up a lab with fvwm and ltsp for testing purpose...09:57
lucasvoogra__: what would I have to do?09:57
ogra__install fvwm instead of gnome 09:58
lucasvoogra__: can't I install both?10:01
lucasvoogra__: will it automatically work on clients as well?10:01
ogra__you can, but you have to pick a default10:01
ogra__you can leave gnome in place, but have to select gnome explicitly in gdm to make it work on the server10:02

agente87hello11:08
lucasvohi agente87 11:08
agente87i need some help, somebody who has installed edubuntu?11:09
lucasvoagente87: almost everybody11:09
agente87jajajja11:09
lucasvojust ask11:09
lucasvoI mean everybody here11:09
agente87i have installed edubuntu in my classroom11:09
lucasvoagente87: with ltsp?11:09
agente87that my problem11:10
lucasvoagente87: did you install edubuntu-server or only workstation?11:10
lucasvoagente87: what?11:10
agente87i want to install a server11:10
agente87but i dont know how11:10
lucasvoagente87: sudo apt-get install edubuntu-server11:10
agente87so easy?11:10
lucasvohttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPServerSetup11:11
spaceysomeone has an example dhcpd.conf for me? (can put it on pastebin?)11:11
spaceyhe doesn't want to generate it because its not on the same machine;x11:11
lucasvohttp://pastebin.com/46437611:12
spaceyhah11:12
spaceyits on that link11:12
spaceyas well :P11:12
spaceygreat11:12
lucasvospacey: :D11:12
lucasvoagente87: first do sudo apt-get install edubuntu-server11:12
lucasvoagente87: then sudo ltsp-build-client11:13
lucasvoagente87: this may take several minutes11:13
lucasvoagente87: ah yes, and you have to set up your clients:11:13
agente87what can you do with the server and the clients?11:14
lucasvoagente87: read this: http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-4.1/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN61811:14
agente87ok 11:14
lucasvoagente87: a server is where all the users log in(you need about 128MB per client logged in on the server)11:15
lucasvoso it should be powerful11:15
lucasvothe clients are only running a minimal linux which start up a graphical desktop and loggs into server11:15
agente87128MB RAM or HDD?11:16
lucasvoRAM11:16
lucasvoso if you have 10 clients you should have about 1.5 GB Ram on the server11:16
agente87wow, too much for my server11:17
lucasvoagente87: but: you only need 64MB ram on the client11:17
lucasvono disk on the client, no CD drive11:17
lucasvo...11:17
lucasvoonly floppy or special network card11:18
agente87i am changing from Windows Xp to edubuntu11:18
lucasvoagente87: do you have one user per child?11:19
lucasvoagente87: or do you have one user per machine?11:19
lucasvoat the moment?11:19
agente87one user per machine11:19
lucasvoah, in that case you don't need ltsp11:19
lucasvoof course it would be better but you would also need better hardware on the server11:19
agente87yes, my server isn't good11:20
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
agente87i have a very usefull program11:21
agente87windows based11:21
lucasvoagente87: if you want to use existing hardware, you can just install normal edubuntu-workstation on every client, but you will not be able to have one user per child11:21
lucasvobut you could mount a shared directory where every child has it's own folder over nfs11:22
lucasvowhich would then be on every client11:22
agente87over nfs?11:22
lucasvoagente87: network file system11:22
agente87with samba?11:22
lucasvonfs is something like samba11:23
lucasvoyes11:23
lucasvoagente87: you are now using samba?11:23
agente87how can i control the clients?11:23
agente87yes, i think 11:23
lucasvoyou can't :D11:24
agente87jajajja11:24
lucasvowhat do you want to control?11:24
lucasvoyou can use vnc for remote login11:24
agente87yes something like vnc11:25
agente87i using now a program called Edebenet11:25
lucasvoan other option would be, to sell your hardware and buy 1 powerfull server and several clients11:25
agente87it a public schooll we can't sell hardware11:26
lucasvoagente87: hm, you could try to find a more powerful server, than you could use ltsp :D which would make it a LOT easier11:27
lucasvoagente87: http://www.disklessworkstations.com/cgi-bin/web/200031.html?id=WMUUwaqQ  < these small boxes are powerful enough for one client11:27
lucasvoagente87: or you can just use old hardware, people throw away, I am using it and for clients it is ok11:28
=== shmooz [n=shmooz@H142.C72.B0.tor.eicat.ca] has joined #edubuntu
agente87really amazing11:28
lucasvoagente87: depends on how flexible you are11:29
shmoozhey there, ive got this ASUS-X motherboard A7V400-MX with an amd sempron 220011:29
lucasvoshmooz: I have a very similar combination :D11:29
shmoozI put in the edubuntu install disc and I get this error pretty quickly..11:29
lucasvowhich one?11:30
agente87i'll try to stole some Pentiums I11:30
shmoozYour CPU does not support Long Mode. Use a 32 bit version11:30
lucasvohm11:30
shmoozany ideas11:30
shmoozsempron is only 64 bit isnt it11:30
lucasvoshmooz: -> #ubuntu-kernler or #ubuntu would be a better help11:31
lucasvoshmooz: no it isn't11:31
shmoozI figured the floating point co-processor maybe11:31
lucasvoshmooz: it is similar to amd64 but it is 3211:31
agente87have you downloaded the 64bit version?11:31
agente87lucasvo11:31
lucasvoah that may be the problem:D11:32
lucasvoagente87: yes?11:32
shmoozIn the past 3 weeks. I installed edubuntu with the same disc on a sempron 2500 ans sempron 260011:32
agente87sorry11:32
shmoozno problem11:32
shmoozyes11:32
lucasvoshmooz: so 64bit?11:32
lucasvoshmooz: you have 64bit working on sempron?11:33
shmoozyes it is edubuntu 64 and same with the two semprons I installed in past couple weeks11:33
shmoozso that yes to all the past 6 questions ;^)11:33
lucasvoafaik sempron is only 32bit11:33
lucasvoshmooz: as it says in sempron datasheet, it is only 32bit11:34
lucasvohttp://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_11683,00.html < AMD Sempron Product Data Sheet11:35
lucasvoagente87: what hardware do you have in school?11:35
agente87i have 25 PIV 2,4 256 RAM and 40 GB HDD11:36
agente87and no server11:36
agente87i'm using one of them as a server11:36
agente87what do you think?11:37
shmoozsorry ive been at amd to try and confirm about 32 bit sempron11:37
agente87have you tried with the i386 version?11:37
shmoozok check this http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/SideBySide.aspx?opn=SDA2500DUT3D&opn=SDA2500AIO3BX11:38
shmoozit seems that the sempron 2500 is available as 32 bit and 64 bit11:38
shmoozwhile the sempron  2200 is only 32 bit11:39
shmoozi tried a 32bit Kubuntu which mostly installs but chokes on xwindows or kde and does not come up with gui11:40
shmoozusing aptitude to try and update things also chokes on kernel image update11:40
agente87sorry i think i can't help you11:41
shmoozthe kubuntu disc is about 3 to 6 months old so I think it is basically choking on completeing the global update11:42
=== spacey gonna boot in pxe now *hopefully*
spaceybrb11:45
shmoozso basically I have to download the latest 32 bit edubuntu iso and burn a new one.11:45

spaceyhmmm11:56
lucasvoagente87: re12:04
agente87lucasvo: are you there?12:05
lucasvoagente87: in that case, you can a) buy a new server for ltsp and waste super-high-power p4 as clients or b) you can install it like you have installed windows12:05
