=== lucasvo can't wait til this stupid apt is done with upgrading [12:05] heh [12:07] ogra: distrowatch must be a big + for pressed cds in dapper? [12:07] not really ... [12:07] ogra: why? [12:07] are we still in top 100 ? [12:08] i didnt look for some weeks === \sh is now known as \sh_away === \sh_away is now known as \sh [12:09] hmm, actually 67 in the 3 months overview === arkan0x [n=arkanox@pc-133-72-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [12:10] but not even listed for the 1 month statistics [12:12] is this a bug: if you install sabayon in breezy (without creating a default profile), /etc/X11/Xsession does't work longer [12:12] works here [12:12] did you edit that file before installing sabayon ? [12:12] could be [12:13] that might be it ... [12:13] did you create a profile for your user? [12:13] note also that sabayon doesnt work on thin clients === claude [n=claude@64.118.62.81.cust.bluewin.ch] has left #edubuntu [] [12:13] nope, i tested sabayon for inclusion and found out it doesnt work, so i didnt include it :) [12:14] it must work on thin clients to include it by default, else its useless ... [12:14] but its principle collides with our ltsp [12:15] ok === jinty [n=jinty@115.Red-80-24-9.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [12:15] it runs xnest which doesnt work through ssh tunnels ... [12:16] i see no way to make that work ... :( [12:16] (i'd very much love to include it in the next release) [12:17] hmm [12:18] we, have some time left, for dapper [12:18] not much though [12:18] upstream version freeze is deadline for new stuff [12:20] and my personal ocus is on keeping the edubuntu metapackages working and to improve ltsp ... so i dont have much time left for other development [12:20] *focus [12:22] are you again searching for new helpers? [12:23] i'm always searching for helpers :) [12:23] :) [12:24] we, talked yesterday on #ltsp if you can't remember, btw [12:24] ah, yes [12:27] ogra, do you use vmware for edubuntu development? [12:27] nope [12:27] real hardware [12:28] Yagisan does a lot with vmware [12:28] vmware 5 has pxe support [12:28] he also tests the isos with it (at least he did that last release) [12:28] ahm, nice [12:29] -m [12:30] have ubuntu something like a mentors-project, too? [12:30] we have MOTU [12:30] (masters of the universe) [12:31] its similar to mentors [12:31] but more team oriented [12:31] since we dont have personalized packages in ubuntu, everyone can work on everything he likes [12:32] technically everyone can submit packages to http://tiber.tauware.de/, where they get reviewed by MOTU and get sponsored uploads [12:33] How to install phpbb EasyMod on ubuntu: http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?sid=&f=19&t=21527 [12:34] gand, ah, you found the solution to your user problem then ? [12:34] nice :) [12:34] yrs :) [12:34] yes:) [12:34] and then share what I learn :) === jinty [n=jinty@115.Red-80-24-9.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [12:34] cool [12:35] : [12:35] :) [12:35] ogra, thx, I will have a look on it [12:35] loogaroo, feel invited to #ubuntu-motu as well :) [12:36] I've set a phpbb board for a teacher group sharing FOSS on Italian school [12:36] thats very nice :) [12:37] lombardia.homelinux.org/forum is running on edubuntu machine :) ones you help to set up [12:37] wow === Burgwork [n=corey@S010600131016cf6f.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #edubuntu [01:23] ogra, you awake still? [01:23] Burgwork, partially [01:23] ogra, my company is interested in making TeachersPet work on multiseat boxes [01:24] nice [01:24] http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/student-control-panel-0.1/ [01:24] there is my bzr archive [01:24] its far from being complete or anything [01:25] http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/edubuntu/student-control-panel_shot.png [01:25] ok [01:25] you can easily replace the top graphics with a company logo [01:25] where is that tool going to be as of Dapper? [01:26] and is there anything in the design that needs to be rethought to handle multiseat instead of ltsp? [01:26] i hope the three basic finctions, logout, start apps for selected students and mke vnc connection to the currenly selected student work ... [01:26] I didn't see anything [01:26] the grabbing of the login connections must be handled differently [01:27] yep [01:27] one guy already made a gentoo port :) [01:27] but the fundamental design is not different [01:27] nope [01:28] ok. we are just in the preliminary stages of looking at what we can do, so no promises yet [01:29] if 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 function [01:29] its trivial to change that for other implementations [01:30] and its not my highest priorty, so any help will be welcome [01:30] I might even have enough python vodoo to make that work [01:30] so just bzr get it ;) [01:31] my time is about to get very very tight, due to other non-work Ubuntu stuff, but I will try [01:32] if you run into probs, just ping me [01:32] ok [01:35] ogra, just a gui comment. It might be better to move the logout student button to beside the takeover student one [01:35] and at the bottom, have a logout all and takeover all button [01:35] thats not how it works ;) [01:36] oh [01:36] the logout button logs out *all selected* students [01:36] hmm [01:36] be it only one or all [01:36] so it applies to the list on the left ... [01:37] how often is the teach going to logging out only a subset of students? [01:37] the same will happen with the execute button [01:37] s/teach/teacher [01:37] you can just ctrl-a them ... [01:37] yes [01:38] but the logic is that the takeover button only applies to the currently shown student, and the other buttons allpy to the list on the left [01:38] I don't know enough about how teachers would actually use the tool to make a good judgement [01:38] the reason I say move the buttons over is that then it is clear exactly what student you are affecting [01:38] so the optical distinction is content vs list [01:39] or list vs content to put it in the appropriate order [01:40] try the app and you will see what i mean ... [01:41] yes, I think I understand your thinking [01:41] I wish I knew how teachers actually would use it [01:41] yes, me too :) [01:42] i 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] yes [01:42] that was my initial idea ... [01:42] but at the same time, I am worried about the multiple selection thing [01:42] because the side only shows one [01:43] the last selscted one ... [01:43] ugh [01:44] let me mock up my idea and post to edubuntu-devel [01:44] i wont add any more buttons, but i want the teacher to be able to kick students selective [01:44] get some more opinions [01:44] i 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] ouch [01:45] again, I might be able to muster my meager pygtk skills to do that [01:45] surely you can do that, but it wont happen if no gui guru steps up and integrates all the autouipdating of the gui right [01:46] yep [01:46] and i will in no case add a "populate userlist" button or something differently weird ;) [01:46] just to circumvent a usability issue i can solve as well n the next release :) [01:46] that is crack [01:47] that is what all teacher tools do today [01:47] I have never seen one [01:47] I should start looking [01:47] i havent found one without such buttons :) [01:47] look at controlaulas at gnomefiles.org [01:47] its a horribly bloated but very powerful gui === \sh is now known as \sh_away [01:48] sadly its 100% written in gambas === amu is now known as amU [01:48] yes [01:48] which i'll never touch and we wont have it in ubuntu main ever ... so no option... [01:49] and then there is the ancient teacher tool .... in tkinter .... [01:49] and a port of it in gtk1 .... [01:49] controlaulas looks like a mess [01:49] and i think i also saw a port to gtk2 ... [01:49] what about teachertool, the k12ltsp one? [01:50] thats the tkinter one ... [01:50] with a populate button for *every* list [01:50] s-c-p is mainly based on it ... but without most of the crack [01:51] are there screenshots for that somewhere? [01:51] i.e. i adopted the backend, made it work with our ltsp but added automation where possible ... [01:52] http://www.grawert.net/TeacherTool.png [01:52] ugh [01:52] ever button pops up another list (with its own populate list button indeed) [01:53] or weird dialogs [01:55] how can I use a serial mouse on the thinclients? [01:56] loogaroo, 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 test [01:57] in breezy its not implemented http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLtsConfParams but the patch we got for dapper didnt seem to work either :( [01:57] i had someone here who tried to backport the patch ... [01:58] loogaroo, you can look at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/ltsp/fixes/debian/ltsp-client.ltsp-client-setup.init [01:59] ok [01:59] there are lines for X_MOUSE_DEVICE and X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL [01:59] try to put them into /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup and add the options to your lts.conf file [02:00] but i doubt it will work [02:06] I will try this tomorrow [02:07] thx, and good night [02:08] night === kelley_ [n=kelley@hlfxns01bbf-142068207218.ns.aliant.net] has joined #edubuntu === kelley_ [n=kelley@hlfxns01bbf-142068207218.ns.aliant.net] has joined #edubuntu === pc22 [n=arik@222.126.13.162] has joined #edubuntu [02:44] hi ogra === ealden [n=ealden@219.90.91.122] has joined #edubuntu === sankarshan [n=sankarsh@59.92.130.18] has joined #edubuntu === jsgotangco [n=ubuntu@210.4.38.43] has joined #edubuntu === freelove [n=yasser@59.93.240.146] has joined #edubuntu [05:15] hi ogra:) === freelove [n=yasser@59.93.240.146] has left #edubuntu ["Konversation] === P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@200.121.19.30] has joined #edubuntu === cowboE [n=chatzill@adsl-68-94-25-189.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #edubuntu === cowboE [n=chatzill@adsl-68-94-25-189.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has left #edubuntu [] === pc22 [n=buknoy@210.213.219.183] has joined #edubuntu [05:49] hello === sankarshan [n=sankarsh@59.92.130.18] has joined #edubuntu === zakame [n=zak@210.213.79.102] has joined #edubuntu === P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@200.106.95.154] has joined #edubuntu === JaneW [n=JaneW@dsl-146-165-24.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu === P47|LL0 [n=gcamposm@200.106.9.133] has joined #edubuntu === robitaille [n=robitail@d154-5-117-228.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:27] hello === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu === manu_ubu [n=manu@ubu.upmf-grenoble.fr] has joined #edubuntu [08:32] Hello [08:34] hhi === konfuzed [n=KonfuzeD@H135.C72.B0.tor.eicat.ca] has joined #edubuntu === sankarshan [n=sankarsh@59.92.130.18] has joined #edubuntu === SCMark [n=marko@fsh-cpe-52-11.resnet.ucsc.edu] has joined #edubuntu === manu_ubu [n=manu@ubu.upmf-grenoble.fr] has left #edubuntu [] === thundr [n=thundr@66-168-50-185.dhcp.mdsn.wi.charter.com] has joined #edubuntu === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu === littlepaul [n=littlepa@p5084E276.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu === irvin [n=irvin@202.138.170.72] has joined #edubuntu [11:21] what's the agenda for the meeting later? === P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@200.106.9.133] has joined #edubuntu === Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-87-69-nsw-pppoe.tpgi.com.au] has joined #edubuntu === ivan [n=ivan@194.84.5.222] has joined #edubuntu === bimberi [n=bimberi@ppp-46-134.grapevine.net.au] has joined #edubuntu [12:08] ping ogra or ogra__ [12:10] (having some issues requiring an op in #ubuntu) [12:15] nvm, Seveas to the rescue :) [12:22] hi guys, I think I am going to have to miss the meeting...

I can't understand why those riots? [02:18] some wankers were shooting at the christion primary school, and burned down a church [02:18] why did he grr ? [02:19] ogra could you explain what is exactly broken on the livecd?

My sense of the little docbook I saw was that it was easy to get started, difficult to get sophisticated, and that the Ubuntu folks had their own set of prerequisites in addition to the basics.

[02:21] sure, ogra [02:22] Yagisan: sorry to hear that. I always thought AU was not into racist stupid sheeps [02:22] littlepaul: the church that was burnt down was for the pacific islanders, the school was asian [02:22] mhz, the lore documentation, was short and simple. === mhz wonders what would white extremist feel when they realize they are minority [02:23] mhz: It's actually rampaging islamic groups [02:23] yagisan, my wife's from Australia, and has family in Sydney and the Blue Mountains. She hasn't been home in a long time but was a bit amazed by the news coming out of there. [02:23] I'm in sdyney [02:24] the curch that was burnt down, you could see it burning from my flat [02:24] Yagisan, :/ [02:24] s/curch/church [02:24] Her dad's in... Darlington?

[02:24] kjcole: I guess you are right but remember I am just a moin admin and far from being coder, so my only near 'commands' experience is the command line interface, not tags. So if you happen to have 2 or 3 screenshots of how a user interacts with Lore.. would be excellent. [02:24] kjcole: Probably darlinghurst.

She didn't grow up in Sydney. She knows Hobart. (When we met she teased "I'm not Australian. I'm Tasmanian."

[02:27] I'm glad my kids aren't white [02:27] Yagisan, but her dad moved to Sydney, her sis moved to the US and then back to the Blue Mountains. [02:28] Yagisan, but she says there've always been "issues" with some of the aboriginal community. Now something new. [02:28] Yagisan: i am truly sorry [02:28] that's so sad [02:28] Yagisan, rough. Much sympathy. [02:29] the thing that is really annoying, is all the white people get called racists for defending themselves [02:29] yet, we can clearly see on tv [02:29] we have white, black, and yellow people [02:30] all getting revenge [02:30] and yet, only one colour is racist ??? [02:30] WTF ? [02:31] ... === mhz wouldn't know what to do to even start finding solutions [02:31] Yagisan, and when their children are old enough, they'll join the fray and continue the cycle, as they will have had family injured or killed. [02:32] Although 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] I know.

[02:33] then some more idiots decided, that beating the shit out of the first group was the best solution [02:34] jsgotangco, was that grr before you left for us ? [02:34] my client froze and was only stuck in one channel [02:34] =) [02:34] ah, k, i was already worried :) [02:34] then the first group decided to get revenge for the beating they got, and starts burning down churches, and attacking children [02:34] =) === jsgotangco is editing AsianBusinessTour pages [02:35] jsgotangco: I thought you were perhaps visiting vermont, with -12 F temperatures. (You said your system was "freezing") [02:35] I'm also an atheist, by better half is a buddhist/shinto [02:35] s/by/my [02:35] -12 F jesus christ [02:36] jsgotangco: just to cheer up, finlsand is colder === jsgotangco enjoys the lush equatorial weather [02:37] jsgotangco: Fortunately I'm further south. (The -12 was a Flint report, as he's new to that area.) Still the temperatures here in DC are expected to be +24 F to +32 F. So, below or at freezing all day today. === Yagisan "enjoys" the smell of something burning === Yagisan wishes he had already moved to Tokyo [02:39] ogra: jsgotangco: any chances/ideas we can avoid creation of these kind of wiki pages: aLEXsANCHEZsECO? [02:39] mhz, we cant ... [02:39] its a wiki [02:39] that should read: AlexSanchezSeco [02:39] nope [02:39] Well, running late. Time to go pretend to work. [02:40] kjcole: :) [02:40] unless you like to be a wiki nazi *grin* [02:40] I think we already have wiki nazis, don't we ? [02:40] cao kjcole [02:40] *ciao even [02:40] Ta-ta all. [02:41] kjcole, see ya [02:41] jsgotangco: not at all but this is not a wiki for you to play with, it's a wiki to share 'info' related to ubuntu [02:41] mhz: there isn't a difference. [02:41] ? [02:41] mhz, 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 does [02:42] i'm pretty sure people will like to attend that [02:42] it's a wiki, it can be abused because of that very fact [02:42] Yagisan: if so, why stopping wiki spammers? [02:43] wikis have that freedom nature to share data [02:44] mhz, we know its a social issue not a technical one [02:44] but that does not mean anyone can wiki whatever they want (porno, mp3, advertising, etc) [02:44] a technical solution can easily be circumvented i'm sure you're very aware of that [02:44] yup [02:44] yep, we need people to keep the wiki clean [02:45] jsgotangco: so do you know of any draft of wiki ground 'rules'? [02:45] and to fix things like cAPS lOCK impaired people [02:45] i believe mdke made some... [02:45] :) [02:45] but our favorite barrister seems to be busy lately... [02:46] ogra, still interested in willow? [02:46] hmm, okis. I hope I can help as soon as I can read that draft [02:46] since it depends on multiverse? [02:46] all the best tools are in multiverse ;) [02:46] :) [02:46] Yagisan, thats not true :p [02:46] spacey, i'm not sure it really needs the profiler [02:46] we can probably patch it out ... [02:47] ogra, hmhm i'm busy like crazy here. I don't think i'll be able to hack much code, especially since im not into python yet [02:47] but currently my focus is on the CDs, flight 2 is at the door, the isos need testing [02:47] i'll look into it... i'll package it anyway [02:48] spacey: yeah, some of the best ones don't even get packaged :( eg libdvdcss === Yagisan notes most of his multimedia packages had to come from multiverse [02:49] Yagisan, you just use the wrong media then :P [02:49] ogra: bah, I like my MPEG4 [02:50] Yagisan, i got that package installed:P [02:50] seveas has it in his repository === Yagisan backported xvidcore from dapper for the amd64 speedups [02:51] spacey: I run my own third party repo too, no surprises for guessing what is in it [02:51] s/surprises/prizes [02:52] ;p === mhz /me bbl [03:01] I am taking the term wikinazis and imortalizing it. you guys are good. very good.... [03:02] i'm just following the footsteps of the original word playing nazi at the moment [03:03] flint: immortalising :-P === Yagisan goes looking for matching uniform, to go with my bad taste - perhaps something prince harry style, before I'm lynched.

[08:03] well, i work with a computer company in town that runs a program called computers4kids [08:04] that takes old donated systems and donates them to needy families [08:04] we currently load windows 98 (volume license) on them, and ive gotten the board to consider ubuntu or edubuntu as an alternative [08:05] these are generally going to school aged kids, and i think edubuntu would be infinitely superior for this purpose [08:05] over win98, that is [08:05] yes it probably would [08:05] where does the edubuntu evangelist come into the picture? [08:06] well, i need a couple pointers on really selling this to the board [08:06] "not windows" isn't going to go over well [08:06] i'm also not familiar with ubuntu's compatibility with dialup modems [08:06] so you need to sell value to the board [08:06] dialup modems is kind of crappy [08:06] it seems linux has come a long way in that regard [08:06] but im still worried [08:06] some of them work but they are a pain to configure [08:06] most of these families, if they have internet connection at all, will be dialup [08:06] yeah thats what i was worried about [08:07] thats going to be a major hurdle [08:07] I recognize that [08:07] however, I don't consider it a deal killer [08:07] people only need to configure their modems once and they use the machine every day for other things [08:07] the modem in this one seems to have installed fine [08:07] i dont really have a means to test it here... [08:08] yeah, i think edubuntu is great for school aged kids [08:08] ive been checking it out for a couple days now [08:08] here is the value I would pitch to the board (I do sales, in case you care) [08:08] ha okay [08:08] -virus free [08:08] -easy to setup [08:08] -designed for kids [08:09] do you currently do support for the machines you hand out? [08:09] i dont think so [08:09] here is the feedback I have heard about putting Linux on donated machines [08:09] ok [08:09] usually about 50% come back and get windows on them [08:09] oi [08:09] thats the other thing i was afraid of [08:10] still, 50% [08:10] haha [08:10] but that is fine, because the other half keeps their linux [08:10] yeah [08:10] and I consider that a net win [08:10] definitely [08:10] i believe very strongly in what ubuntu is doing [08:10] and thats why ive been on their case about adopting it [08:10] I would say this "Lets offer Ubuntu first and if then they want Windows, we give them 98" [08:11] because both have their places [08:11] mmhmm [08:11] thats the other thing im concerned about [08:11] sadly [08:11] these are generally very low end machines [08:11] our cpu "cutoff" is 400mhz [08:11] ubuntu should run fine on 400mhz, right? [08:11] is that the lowest end or the highest end? [08:11] lowest [08:12] that should be fine [08:12] not speedy but it will work [08:12] i think we generally do 128mbs ram [08:12] this particular system has 192 [08:12] 677mhz cpu [08:12] and it seems to run just fine [08:12] 128 is going to grind a little with OO.o but that is about it [08:12] and when dapper comes out, xubuntu should be in main [08:13] and edubuntu is already considering doing a lowend version for xubuntu [08:13] any sort of timeframe? [08:13] Dapper will be released April 2006, unless the world ends [08:13] haha [08:14] oh yeah thats right, 6 month releases [08:14] (K)(Ed)Ubuntu is released on a six month schedule [08:14] well as it stands, i'm presenting this idea to the board first thursday of jan [08:14] so far im very impressed with edubuntu [08:15] i already have them offering several open source utilities on our win98 boxes [08:15] firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, etc [08:15] the thing that will sell them is value and pain, not features [08:15] well pain is what im worried about with dialup modems [08:15] find out what they would like to do better and then offer the features of edubuntu to solve those [08:15] hence creating value [08:16] see, im not sure how our windows 98 license currently works [08:16] apparently we're allowed to install this on as many machines as we please [08:16] you probably have to give away the machines for free [08:16] and you can install as many as you like [08:16] you can probably also get win 2k licenses as well [08:16] mmhmm [08:17] im also worried the board will think people will be alienated [08:17] where do you live? [08:17] wyoming [08:17] oh, US [08:17] I live in Canada, don't worry [08:17] ha [08:18] i really have to sell them on ubuntu's ease of install for us [08:18] and ease of use for the end user [08:18] but in order for them to consider Ubuntu, it must be better than what they have and solve some of their problems [08:19] we really HAVE no problems with win98 is the...problem [08:19] as long as it does that, minor issues like modems will not become major issues [08:19] maybe not [08:19] i just believe that edubuntu will do more for the type of people we're giving these to [08:19] families with young kids [08:20] so talk to some people that have just got the machines and ask them what they want to be better [08:20] right now, the machines we give out dont really have any applications with "creativity" or "education" in mind [08:20] exactly [08:20] well, [08:20] Pain can also include things they would like to do better [08:20] i would assume 9 out of 10 people are using these boxes for email, light web surfing [08:20] word processing [08:21] you can do that sufficiently on either platform [08:21] yes, but feature parity will never win them over [08:21] shouldn't there have been a live cd last weekend? [08:21] RichiH_, no idea [08:22] Burgwork: it was a rhetorical question, there should ;) === RichiH_ would want to have one in the next few days so he can mail it for Xmas [08:22] right, which is why i have to sell them the idea that "ubuntu is better than windows" [08:22] keep in mind i work for a microsoft business partner [08:22] RichiH_: yes, but it was delayed some days, the first daily build (yet untested) came out today [08:22] so the fact that theyre considering this is unreal [08:22] zhx, I am lucky, I sell Linux for a living [08:23] RichiH_: note that this is in heavy development, it might or might not work [08:23] ogra__: bleh [08:23] ogra__: but ok, i will take what i can get [08:23] RichiH_: what do you expect after 1 month of development in a development release ? [08:23] personally, i prefer vanilla ubuntu, but an edubuntu might be good for my sister's daughter [08:24] ogra__: being used to debian, not much ;p [08:24] exactly ... [08:25] 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] i.e. gamin is totally broken ... so the menu doesnt work [08:25] network cards dont come up by default [08:26] there might be language issues [08:26] etc etc [08:26] its really only a test build, we will release in april ... [08:27] zhx, if you want me to help you sell this to the board, feel free to contact me. corey.burger@gmail.com [08:27] definitely, will do === ogra_test [n=ogra@p5089F9F2.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:31] anyway, that was my lunch break [08:31] thanks for your time [08:32] zhx, np === zhx [n=zhx@209.193.90.66] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"] === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [08:41] ogra_test, ogra__ which nick has daniel stone? [08:42] daniels [08:42] ogra_test, thanks [08:48] ogra_test: can I bug you with one question? [08:48] juliux: hi [08:48] hi mhz [08:49] ogra__: I really need to show Edubuntu in a TV (the guy who would lend me the projector couldnt do it) [08:50] I can only see the teminals (Fx) but no GUI. the cui I get is terribly awful [08:50] cui = gui === John_at_LMi [n=johnl@66.117.141.95] has joined #edubuntu [08:50] However, D.S.L live cd looks just perfect on TV [08:50] ??/ [08:50] I need some hints please, ogra_test and ogra__ and juliux and everyone :) [08:51] Good afternoon. I too, am looking some help with Edubuntu. [08:52] For 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. [08:54] Anyone else here and looking in besides mhz? [08:54] John_at_LMi: hi [08:55] John_at_LMi: did you check the EdubuntuInstallNotes in the wiki? [08:55] IIRC one guy also had some issues with mouse and were already solved [08:55] but I may be wrong [08:55] Good afternoon, mhz. I did check there, but found nothing like you describe. I'll look again now. [08:56] John_at_LMi: be patient with the wiki, it has too much info, so try searching using the 'text'btton === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu [08:59] I'd also like to know if i'm the only one trying to use this for a single family with a single child, vs. setting up a lab. [09:08] John_at_LMi: nope, you are not alone [09:08] Edubuntu can be many things [09:08] it's just a matter of good taste :) [09:09] plume: /w 12 [09:09] sorry [09:10] my ltsp isn't working anymore after update to dapper [09:11] * Starting rpc mountd... [fail] [09:11] lucasvo: I have not tested dapper yet [09:12] that sounds like NFS not working [09:12] mhz: yes [09:12] IIRC, during todays meeting ogra mentioned sthg about nfs bugs [09:12] :( [09:13] ogra_test: do you know hot to get nfs on edubuntu working? [09:13] lucasvo@lama:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common start [09:13] * Starting nfs statd... [fail] [09:13] lucasvo@lama:~$ [09:13] how an I debug ? [09:13] *can [09:13] hi all [09:14] John_at_LMi, are you using a serial mouse ? [09:14] mhz, did you try lower resolutions for the gui ? [09:14] lucasvo, look in /var/log/daemon.log [09:14] John_at_LMi: I had the same problem :D [09:15] lucasvo, with the workstation version ? i doubt it [09:16] John_at_LMi: can you do modprobe psmouse on the client? [09:16] ogra_test: yes [09:16] John_at_LMi, to get a terminal window, try alt+F2 [09:16] and type gnome-terminal at the prompt [09:17] lucasvo, really ? i thought that was in ltsp ?? [09:17] on a normal desktop psmouse usually loads fine [09:17] ogra_test: no it was ubuntu ltsp [09:17] thats what i maen [09:17] mean [09:18] edubuntu-server I mean [09:18] the normal desktop doesnt have this prob [09:18] not the ltsp package [09:18] oh, so not on the client ... [09:18] ogra_test: it was on the ltsp client [09:19] yes, thats a known prob, but it doesnt happen on the desktop normally ... [09:19] ah, I didn't read the "workstation install" [09:19] ogra_test: I can't find anything in /var/log/daemon.log [09:19] there was some race condition in the hardware detection of the client at boot ... [09:20] lucasvo, there must be *anything* from the nfsd or statd [09:20] is your portmap running already ? [09:21] ogra_test: yes [09:22] how does your /etc/exports look like ? [09:22] /opt/ltsp *(ro,no_root_squash,async) [09:22] /opt/ltsp *(ro,no_root_squash,async) [09:22] this line should be in there (only one time) [09:23] yes it is there only one time [09:23] did you tra starting nfs-kernel-server ? [09:23] try even [09:23] install: cannot create regular file `/opt/ltsp/pkg_cache/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts': No such file or directory [09:23] install: cannot create regular file `/opt/ltsp/data/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts': No such file or directory [09:23] Removing `local diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /sbin/start-stop-daemon.distrib' [09:23] ^^ when I do ltsp-build-client [09:23] ogra_test: yes I did [09:23] eeek [09:24] dont build the chroot if you upgrade [09:24] just do a sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get diest-upgrade [09:24] http://pastebin.com/464196 [09:25] s/diest/dist [09:25] ogra_test: I deleted the chroot [09:25] but _only_ the i386 [09:25] taht doesnt matter [09:26] the /proc filesystem is still in /proc mounts for the chroot... [09:26] so all installing happens in the main system [09:26] huh? [09:26] I don't understand [09:26] you cant just wipe the chroot [09:27] ehm, so what is with nfs? [09:27] you have to chroot into it first and unmount /proc and /sys [09:27] when I do what? [09:28] so if you run the build client script then, it tries to build a complete new system in / instead of /opt/ltsp [09:28] ogra_test: really? [09:28] yep [09:28] did your screen flash while building the chroot ? [09:28] what building chroot? [09:28] ltsp-build-client [09:29] lucasvo@lama:~$ sudo ltsp-build-clientlucasvo@lama:~$ sudo ltsp-build-client [09:29] no it didn't [09:29] ok, you might be lucky... but that was very dangerous ... [09:29] NOTE: Root directory /opt/ltsp/i386 already exists. This might lead to problems. [09:30] re. It was a PS/2 mouse, now i'm trying a serial mouse. I rebooted, hoping there was some auto-detect. [09:30] ^^ what's the problem? [09:30] never try to build a chroot on top of another [09:30] ogra_test: I am not in chroot [09:30] lucasvo, ltsp-build-client is [09:30] found the terminal window, after finding ALT+F1 by mistake. :) [09:30] aha [09:31] so: I'm simply trying to make a mouse work. Is there some discovery/troubleshooting tool? [09:31] ogra_test: building failed because of crappy connection... so I redid without deleting [09:31] John_at_LMi, no, that wiont help, seems you really have the same problem lucasvo had, even if i never saw that in workstation installs [09:31] i notice there's no /dev/mouse. [09:31] there doesnt need to [09:31] modprobe psmouse: i'll try that now. [09:31] put the word psmouse into the file /etc/modules [09:31] that will solve it [09:36] ogra: i'll try that now. [09:37] John_at_LMi: it is the same but it add's the module permanently [09:37] John_at_LMi: so if modprobe works, it should work as well [09:38] you need to restart X after modprobing ... [09:38] John_at_LMi: ctrl+alt+backspace [09:38] thats why i generally dont give that advice, its just wasting time [09:39] ogra__: ehm so what isn't working with my nfs :P [09:39] because you completely wiped your system ? [09:40] ogra__: I didn't [09:40] restarting now. [09:40] how can I find out? [09:40] running the build-client script on top of an exisiting chroot usually does that === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [09:40] ogra__: so how can I find out, reboot? [09:41] try it, do you have another machine for the worst case ? [09:41] ogra__: mr. livecd :D [09:41] oki [09:41] and a second machine [09:41] might be that you land at ldm now [09:41] lol [09:41] ok === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu [09:47] ha it didn't! [09:47] * Starting rpc mountd... [fail] [09:48] ogra__: now, what should I do? [09:48] so, ogra: first, thank you. [09:48] 2nd, i still have no mouse. :) [09:48] what i did: first, modprobe psmouse. [09:48] John_at_LMi: try lsmod | grep psmouse [09:48] then, looked at /etc/modules, and saw that psmouse was there already. [09:48] so i restarted. [09:49] John_at_LMi: what is in your Xorg.conf? [09:49] ogra__: rm -rf /opt/ltsp/i386 [09:49] i'll try lsmod, and look at the Xorg.conf [09:49] ogra__: ltsp-build-client [09:50] lucasvo: first chroot to /opt/ltsp/i386 and unmount /proc and /sys [09:50] John_at_LMi: http://pastebin.com/464227 < there should be something like this in you /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:50] then you can run the command again [09:51] sudo mkdir /opt/ltsp/i386 [09:51] lsmod | grep psmouse gets me: psmouse 26116 0. [09:51] nope [09:51] without the period. :) [09:51] John_at_LMi thats fine [09:51] ogra__: but I did :( [09:51] lsmod|grep mousedev [09:51] should give you a similar line [09:52] that gives me: 10912 1 [09:52] or rather "mousedev 10912 1" [09:52] fine [09:52] afk to look at Xorg.conf [09:53] and you are sure the mouse works ? [09:53] ogra__: I accidentaly deleted the chroot, how can I build a new one/ [09:53] ? [09:53] just make the dir /opt/ltsp [09:53] the rest is done by the build-client script [09:54] so I MAY run build-client without being in chroot? [09:54] nope [09:54] just run it with sudo on the server [09:55] nope? [09:55] the chroot is the dir /opt/ltsp/i386, you cant be in it if it doesnt exist [09:55] ok [09:57] ogra__: I will set up a lab with fvwm and ltsp for testing purpose... [09:57] ogra__: what would I have to do? [09:58] install fvwm instead of gnome [10:01] ogra__: can't I install both? [10:01] ogra__: will it automatically work on clients as well? [10:01] you can, but you have to pick a default [10:02] you can leave gnome in place, but have to select gnome explicitly in gdm to make it work on the server [10:02] yup === ogra__ goes liveCD testing [10:08] xbox360 would be quite a good ltsp server :P [10:08] and cheap [10:10] re: xorg.conf was set to use a psmouse, and i was trying a serial mouse. [10:10] :) [10:10] so. [10:10] John_at_LMi: and working with ps2 mouse? [10:10] also it seems my original ps mouse was a dud. [10:10] and now, i'm using a different ps mosue, it works. [10:10] so, thank you. [10:10] John_at_LMi: no problem [10:11] John_at_LMi: I don't know exactly what you mean wiht: [10:11] is it reasonable to set up a lab for only two pc"? [10:11] I am using ltsp with one server and 1 client and I think it is worth [10:11] lucasvo, YES [10:12] oops [10:12] Burgwork: np [10:12] lucasvo, I did mean that you but I didn;t mean to shout [10:12] lucasvo, you might also want to consider multiseat with the new Xorg in dapper [10:12] Burgwork: you mean it is worth [10:12] multiseat? [10:13] one machhine, two monitors, two users === lucasvo would like to have a jackpc [10:13] Burgwork: hm, cool [10:13] Burgwork: any additional hardware needed?

[10:30] how do you build that ltsp client chroot on normal ubuntu box [10:30] there was a ltsp-build-client script? [10:30] spacey: apt-get install edubuntu-server [10:31] and then run ltsp-build-client I think [10:31] but i'm afraid that will pull in the whole mess :P like dhcpd etc. [10:31] yup [10:31] i couldn't find the script with dpkg -S [10:31] spacey: if ls /opt/ltsp/i386/ gives some output, don't try it first delete [10:31] :P [10:31] spacey: it is some ltsp package [10:32] i'm sure it doesn't :) [10:32] spacey, ltsp-server [10:32] that comes without dhcpd [10:32] but make sure to install openssh-server too [10:32] thats already installed ofcourse ;) [10:32] easy to build a dapper chroot on breezy? :) [10:33] should be [10:33] nope [10:34] you should try the dapper ltsp packages then [10:34] yeah i mean ltsp client chroot on breezy server [10:34] is AMD Au1550 ltsp compatible? [10:34] as bonus it has multiarch and themeable ldm <( [10:34] ltsp client dapper chroot [10:35] you can specify the target dist in ltsp-build-client, might or might not work [10:35] i'm not sure if it installs all the default packages [10:35] ogra_live: so far I don't have any problems with dapper [10:36] lucasvo, look at kernel.org, not sure if its supported by linux [10:36] ah good [10:36] i'll give that a try [10:36] should be fun to play with [10:37] ok, now amd64 testing....

[11:09] agente87: almost everybody [11:09] jajajja [11:09] just ask [11:09] I mean everybody here [11:09] i have installed edubuntu in my classroom [11:09] agente87: with ltsp? [11:10] that my problem [11:10] agente87: did you install edubuntu-server or only workstation? [11:10] agente87: what? [11:10] i want to install a server [11:10] but i dont know how [11:10] agente87: sudo apt-get install edubuntu-server [11:10] so easy? [11:11] http://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPServerSetup [11:11] someone has an example dhcpd.conf for me? (can put it on pastebin?)

[11:14] agente87: read this: http://www.ltsp.org/documentation/ltsp-4.1/ltsp-4.1-en.html#AEN618 [11:14] ok [11:15] agente87: a server is where all the users log in(you need about 128MB per client logged in on the server) [11:15] so it should be powerful [11:15] the clients are only running a minimal linux which start up a graphical desktop and loggs into server [11:16] 128MB RAM or HDD? [11:16] RAM [11:16] so if you have 10 clients you should have about 1.5 GB Ram on the server [11:17] wow, too much for my server [11:17] agente87: but: you only need 64MB ram on the client [11:17] no disk on the client, no CD drive [11:17] ... [11:18] only floppy or special network card [11:18] i am changing from Windows Xp to edubuntu [11:19] agente87: do you have one user per child? [11:19] agente87: or do you have one user per machine? [11:19] at the moment? [11:19] one user per machine [11:19] ah, in that case you don't need ltsp [11:19] of course it would be better but you would also need better hardware on the server [11:20] yes, my server isn't good === \sh is now known as \sh_away [11:21] i have a very usefull program [11:21] windows based [11:21] agente87: 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 child [11:22] but you could mount a shared directory where every child has it's own folder over nfs [11:22] which would then be on every client [11:22] over nfs? [11:22] agente87: network file system [11:22] with samba? [11:23] nfs is something like samba [11:23] yes [11:23] agente87: you are now using samba? [11:23] how can i control the clients? [11:23] yes, i think [11:24] you can't :D [11:24] jajajja [11:24] what do you want to control? [11:24] you can use vnc for remote login [11:25] yes something like vnc [11:25] i using now a program called Edebenet [11:25] an other option would be, to sell your hardware and buy 1 powerfull server and several clients [11:26] it a public schooll we can't sell hardware [11:27] agente87: hm, you could try to find a more powerful server, than you could use ltsp :D which would make it a LOT easier [11:27] agente87: http://www.disklessworkstations.com/cgi-bin/web/200031.html?id=WMUUwaqQ < these small boxes are powerful enough for one client [11:28] agente87: or you can just use old hardware, people throw away, I am using it and for clients it is ok === shmooz [n=shmooz@H142.C72.B0.tor.eicat.ca] has joined #edubuntu [11:28] really amazing [11:29] agente87: depends on how flexible you are [11:29] hey there, ive got this ASUS-X motherboard A7V400-MX with an amd sempron 2200 [11:29] shmooz: I have a very similar combination :D [11:29] I put in the edubuntu install disc and I get this error pretty quickly.. [11:30] which one? [11:30] i'll try to stole some Pentiums I [11:30] Your CPU does not support Long Mode. Use a 32 bit version [11:30] hm [11:30] any ideas [11:30] sempron is only 64 bit isnt it [11:31] shmooz: -> #ubuntu-kernler or #ubuntu would be a better help [11:31] shmooz: no it isn't [11:31] I figured the floating point co-processor maybe [11:31] shmooz: it is similar to amd64 but it is 32 [11:31] have you downloaded the 64bit version? [11:31] lucasvo [11:32] ah that may be the problem:D [11:32] agente87: yes? [11:32] In the past 3 weeks. I installed edubuntu with the same disc on a sempron 2500 ans sempron 2600 [11:32] sorry [11:32] no problem [11:32] yes [11:32] shmooz: so 64bit? [11:33] shmooz: you have 64bit working on sempron? [11:33] yes it is edubuntu 64 and same with the two semprons I installed in past couple weeks [11:33] so that yes to all the past 6 questions ;^) [11:33] afaik sempron is only 32bit [11:34] shmooz: as it says in sempron datasheet, it is only 32bit [11:35] http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_11683,00.html < AMD Sempron Product Data Sheet [11:35] agente87: what hardware do you have in school? [11:36] i have 25 PIV 2,4 256 RAM and 40 GB HDD [11:36] and no server [11:36] i'm using one of them as a server [11:37] what do you think? [11:37] sorry ive been at amd to try and confirm about 32 bit sempron [11:37] have you tried with the i386 version? [11:38] ok check this http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/SideBySide.aspx?opn=SDA2500DUT3D&opn=SDA2500AIO3BX [11:38] it seems that the sempron 2500 is available as 32 bit and 64 bit [11:39] while the sempron 2200 is only 32 bit [11:40] i tried a 32bit Kubuntu which mostly installs but chokes on xwindows or kde and does not come up with gui [11:40] using aptitude to try and update things also chokes on kernel image update [11:41] sorry i think i can't help you [11:42] the kubuntu disc is about 3 to 6 months old so I think it is basically choking on completeing the global update === spacey gonna boot in pxe now *hopefully* [11:45] brb [11:45] so basically I have to download the latest 32 bit edubuntu iso and burn a new one. === spacey [n=spacey@flits101-191.flits.rug.nl] has joined #edubuntu [11:56] ah didn't work [11:56] thinclient failed on "mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev" and "mounting /dev/ on /root/dev" and target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init [11:56] hmmm [12:04] agente87: re [12:05] lucasvo: are you there? [12:05] agente87: 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 windows
