[03:13] because of linus? :D [03:13] MrMazda: in edubuntu-desktop you get all the education apps [03:14] used to KDE since years ago when Gnome was awful [03:14] MrMazda: yes, I did too, I am using gnome since warty [03:14] gotta find out if enuf space left on device :-D [03:14] MrMazda: apt-get remove kde [03:14] added some stuff already, so it's pretty full [03:14] MrMazda, how much space do you have ? [03:14] o_O [03:15] gotta go upstairs to see what's left [03:15] 2.25G to start with for / [03:15] thats not enough for a default edubuntu ... [03:15] you'll need ~2.6G [03:15] I read some doc that said needs 2G [03:15] that's barely enough for normal ubuntu [03:16] 2.2G is fine for a normal ubuntu, edubuntu brings more apps [03:16] kdeedu and all the kde stuff we ship is an ugl beast ... [03:16] *ugly [03:16] apt-get remove qt [03:17] heh [03:17] MrMazda, normal ubuntu installs in 2G, but whoever wrote that never tried it. I did - you don't have any space left. [03:17] I hate the qt dual licensing :( [03:17] its gone with qt4 [03:17] ogra: it is? [03:17] lucasvo: why ? [03:17] afaik, yes [03:17] hey jelkner [03:18] Yagisan: for e.g. german post had to remove their stampit *proprietary* plugin for openoffice since it includes qt [03:18] looks like I could get some space back by removing a bunch of eastern fonts [03:19] way lotta font packages installed [03:19] MrMazda: did you clear /var/cache/apt/archives/? [03:19] got 450K back from doing that manually [03:19] yes, that might give you 2-300MB [03:19] eeek [03:19] never do that manually [03:19] ogra: good morning [03:19] use apt-get clean for that [03:19] couldn't find another way [03:19] ogra: ok [03:20] lucasvo: that's what happens when you don't read the license [03:20] that wasn't what was suggested yesterday [03:20] MrMazda, i wasnt around in the evening :) [03:20] someone said some other kind of clean [03:20] Yagisan: they are allowed to include their software with dual licensing? [03:20] MrMazda: *me* [03:20] MrMazda: I was wrong [03:20] too late now :-) [03:21] yup [03:21] wont break heavily though, dont worry ... [03:21] already added repositories and updated [03:22] gimp [03:22] mc [03:22] lucasvo: the author of qt can license it however they like. [03:22] but as a rule of thumb, if there is a tool in a linux system, never edit files manually or delete stuff, you might miss something that tool would do as well [03:22] firefox/thunderbird [03:22] I know that rule [03:22] gotta be able to find that GUI tool though [03:22] MrMazda: synaptic? [03:22] for maintaining packages ? [03:22] thats synaptic or gnome-app-install [03:23] kubuntu/kde has something similar [03:23] gnome-app-install is lame [03:23] why ? [03:23] synaptic, dpkg, apt, adept - too many different tools for packages [03:23] it only provides the most common packages [03:23] MrMazda: you forgot aptitude [03:23] gnome-app-install is far superior to synaptic on the usability side [03:23] aptitude, synaptic, dpkg, apt, adept - too many different tools for packages [03:24] they do different things :) [03:24] synaptic and aptitude are just frontends [03:24] dpkg is included into almost everything [03:24] MrMazda: I can point to at least one of those tools that doesn't work on my X less box [03:24] ... to apt [03:24] apt is a frontend to dpkg [03:24] adept is a copy of synaptic in kde [03:25] they are completely different things ... [03:25] you're making me try to learn to much - I'm a rpm user [03:25] even working on weekends ogra ;/ [03:25] Debian gives me fits [03:25] spacey_ki, not really ... [03:25] my preferred front end is aptitude [03:25] I prefer apt [03:25] screwed up tty video on every one of them [03:25] ogra, don't forget to relax a bit :P [03:26] heh, i'll try [03:26] i'm on my way out anyway, GF is ill and i have to pick up food for the animals ... else they'll starve over the weekend [03:26] ogra is in a hurry for dapper :D [03:26] nah, no hurry at all :) [03:27] ogra: Hope GF gets better soon. [03:27] we are fine in our timeframe ... [03:27] Yagisan, i'll tell her ... [03:28] she already was better (after 4 weeks of sleepless nights with crying from pain) [03:28] but somehow it started over tonight [03:28] seems like Bug 7878 resurfaced [03:28] ?? what did she catch ? [03:28] damn, thats quite serious [03:28] we have no idea [03:29] seems it hurts heavily below her right eye .... [03:29] went to hospital i assume? [03:29] the doc has no idea what that could be ... [03:29] 2nd opinion ? [03:29] now she got pulled out a tooth last week, but that seem not to have been the cause of pain ... [03:30] time for a xray [03:30] i'll arrange a computer tomography next week for here, to get some more insight ... [03:30] no hospital yet ... she first wants to try out all options without that [03:31] what is computer tomography? === ogra babelfishes [03:32] spacey_ki: most likely cat scan [03:32] I had one done for myself - big white tube [03:32] strong magnets [03:32] yeah ... [03:32] babalfish doesnt help :/ [03:32] not dangerious when you have some metal in your teeth? [03:33] nope [03:33] have some guy say "lie still" while they scan your head [03:33] not suddenly teethless [03:33] :) [03:33] and afterwards you have a 3D model of your head ... [03:33] and then they go, we *still* don't know whats wrong [03:33] that's cool, I once had to do it with my arm [03:33] its a kind of xray in slices they do ... and afterwards they build a 3D model of it [03:34] oh wait - that may only be for me [03:34] Yagisan, i suspect it might be the same for us :/ [03:34] Yagisan: it is quite common, they still don't know what's wrong with my arm [03:34] the dentist already did a normal xray... nothing suspisious ... [03:34] I still can't do any push-ups :( [03:35] at least I got a picture of my head [03:35] lol [03:35] lucasvo: RSI ?? [03:35] Yagisan: rsi? [03:35] yes, sounds like [03:35] to much comuter work :) [03:35] Repetitive Strain Injury [03:35] *computer [03:35] take more rests [03:35] or ah something else ;) [03:36] Yagisan: I don't know, I had a broken arm a 2 years ago [03:36] Yagisan: broken forever, I can't push anything more than 20kg [03:36] good thing you do computer work :P [03:37] only need to press keys [03:37] spacey_ki: I am doing headwork in school atm [03:37] headwork? [03:37] ouch, I've shredded all the ligaments on my knee before. Couldn't move my lower leg [03:37] brainwork [03:37] right [03:37] what work does your brain do [03:38] dragged myself 7 kilometers to a hospital on one leg, just to get it put in plaster [03:38] spacey_ki: math, biology, french, german, english, italian, chemistry, physics [03:38] and arts and craft [03:38] your on highschool?

[03:44] where are you from then Yagisan [03:44] Sydney [03:45] I'm sure you seen parts of the riots on tv [03:45] :D [03:45] Yagisan: I don't have/want tv [03:45] but I read in the newspapers about it [03:46] lucasvo: that's good. The only thing I use my tv for is for playing my iron chef dvds [03:46] iron chef? [03:46] Yagisan: what time is it now in sydney? [03:46] lucasvo: I bet the papers are only saying white people are attacking lebanese people [03:46] :D [03:46] Yagisan, nope [03:46] almost 2am [03:47] i never watch tv [03:47] evil box ;p [03:47] exactly [03:48] iron chef is the best show I have ever seen on TV. It's from Japan. The americans made a crap copy called, Iron Chef America [03:48] here we are, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Chef [03:49] i've seen futurama episode about that :) [03:49] you haven't seen Iron Chef ??

[03:53] don't remember:) [03:53] at least it was funny :) [03:53] Yagisan, never seen the orginal show [03:54] spacey_ki: where are you ? [03:54] can't run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg because the tty display is too corrupted - how do I screencap the corruption? [03:54] Yagisan, netherlands [03:54] its not on tv here :) [03:55] i'm curious though, can you send me an episode?:D [03:55] lucasvo: are you really /away ? [03:56] MrMazda: how did you corrupt the tty display ? [03:56] using keypad keys [03:56] always does that [03:57] how do I screencap the corruption? [03:57] have you tried typing `clear` no quotes in a console ? (yes it is a dumb question) [03:57] Is x working at all ? [03:57] restart [03:57] instead of clear helps [03:58] X works - I'm doing what lucasvo said to report the initial configure bug [03:58] restart what? [03:58] type it in [03:58] the terminal [03:58] MrMazda: gimp has a screen capture function [03:58] gimp is X === HiveDrone [n=HiveDron@x1-6-00-10-a7-08-8e-f7.k130.webspeed.dk] has joined #edubuntu [03:59] this is tty running dpkg-reconfigure [03:59] can't type in clear or restart [03:59] just type restart and press enter [03:59] works for me [03:59] :) [03:59] even if you can't see it [04:00] MrMazda: please clarify - is this a virtual console, or x-term ? [04:01] ogra: do you have time for a question? [04:01] tty[1-6] [04:01] jelkner, sure [04:01] i installed sabayon [04:01] btw, did you already test the flight2 CD ? [04:01] no [04:01] restart worked, but then on first need for a cursor key it corrupts again spacey [04:01] i can do that monday [04:02] great [04:02] how do you want me to test it? [04:02] can't get anywhere [04:02] i'm lagging with the announcement anyway [04:02] just do an install and see if it works? [04:02] yup [04:02] ok, i'll burn it tomorrow and install on monday [04:02] there are some known issues, i'll point out in the announcement [04:02] i have two test servers to play with [04:02] MrMazda, try in an X terminal? [04:02] great :) [04:02] any i need to know before testing? [04:03] dont use different languages ... [04:03] ok [04:03] anything else? [04:03] spacey_ki: lucasvo said run in tty, so I exited the X session to run on tty [04:03] trhere is something wrong with the ubuntu locales onb install, that makes it break if you dont use en_** [04:03] you can also run it in an X terminal [04:03] anyway, if tty cannot be fixed I give up on ubuntu [04:03] and restart X after that [04:03] ok, i won't do anything with languages [04:04] the dhcpd needs a new option ... (next-server) [04:04] else the clients wont boot :/ [04:04] but speaking of languages, on our breezy boxes we are having great fun with them [04:04] this corruption has been a plague even on the failed edubuntu installs [04:04] ttys just HAVE to work [04:04] i'm sitting here at a community center where all the folks speak spanish [04:04] but i think i'll revert that change to dhcpd for ubuntu ... its evil to introduce breaking changes with minor version upgrades imho [04:04] i learned how to use the spanish keyboard [04:05] how do I screencap the corruption on a tty? [04:05] and we are all on ubuntu-es chatting [04:05] MrMazda: I have no idea why your tty isn't working. It works fine on all my headless boxes. [04:05] cool! [04:05] jelkner, we had this topinc several times... [04:05] which topic? [04:05] Yagisan: prolly ATI BS [04:05] .es lang stuff [04:05] only ATI box I have [04:05] i think you asked about 10 times about it now [04:05] MrMazda: could you try using the vesa framebuffer instead [04:05] my apologies [04:05] :) [04:05] i missed it each time ;-) [04:06] but i got it now [04:06] Yagisan: kernel line is VGA=290 because VGA=788 failed [04:06] so tell me about sabayon [04:06] btw. the german teacher in the room before me wants to use the ubuntu lab with her students [04:06] nice :) [04:06] MrMazda: well, that is a good indication of where the problem lies [04:06] i'm planning on asking you if you know some good resources for them? [04:06] ok, back to sabayon [04:07] Yagisan: same problem in all Debians, no problem in RPMs [04:07] you said you can't use if from the clients [04:07] yes [04:07] can i use if from the server to lock down client users? [04:07] Debian framebuffer is whacko [04:07] it opens a xnest window, xnest doesnt work through ssh tunnels [04:07] ok, so we should wait on that [04:07] yes? [04:07] but youcan make profiles with it directly on the server desktop [04:07] only when you create the policy you need to do it on the server itself [04:08] but if you activite it it works for everything [04:08] but what happens on the client when the user tries to change things [04:08] only the admin thingy needs to be on local box [04:08] i'm not sure that solveable at all, thats why i said i'm not sure we can include it at ubz [04:08] folks are breaking their desktops [04:08] accidentally deleting panels and stuff [04:08] not if you lock down these options [04:09] jelkner, did you try using sabayon yet? [04:09] no, i just installed it [04:09] i'm just asking a few high level questions to save time [04:09] like, "how should i try it?" [04:09] i think you should give it a try first :p [04:09] yes, play with it ... [04:10] ok, /me stops asking silly questions and goes off to try it... [04:10] jelkner, if you can't figure it out after trying just ask back. i still have to fix it up myself. good opportunity [04:10] ok [04:10] anyway i'm out for shopping now before everything closes [04:10] cya [04:10] i'm not even sure if we need the xnest stuff... its only for arranging the default desktop setup... the locking down feature doesnt use xnest [04:11] cool [04:11] first question: how to launch it? [04:11] command line only? [04:11] its in the menu :p [04:11] its in your system menu [04:11] doesn't seem to be in the menu anywhere? [04:11] "User Profile Editor" [04:11] oh, i see [04:12] i'm still not sure what this icon should represent :) [04:12] its just a golden swirl [04:13] MrMazda: a quick google doesn't anything that can grab a VGA console. Try sudo cat /dev/vcs > screendump.txt [04:14] oops, i click on "Edit" and get "Xsession: unable to launch "gnome" X session --- "gnome" not found; falling back to default session." [04:14] MrMazda: You will need to put your password in, but it should grab the screen for you [04:15] never mind [04:15] clicking ok and it started anyway [04:15] oh, in dapper it silently crashes ... [04:16] oh, yes, xnest is broken :) [04:20] MrMazda: no not really [04:22] luckily we have a totally different kernel to debian :) [04:22] including framebuffer functionallity [04:22] s/including/especially with the/ [04:22] ogra: how about a powerbutton in ldm? [04:22] lucasvo, sure :) [04:23] but i have more important tasks .. [04:23] ogra: is it working from bzr? [04:23] ?? [04:23] a powerbutton from bzr ? [04:23] ogra: no, a working powerbutton in ldm from bzr source [04:23] sure ... [04:24] ogra: how can I install it? [04:24] oh, you mean if its added in my bzr repo ? nope [04:24] ah [04:24] ogra: so there isn't any written code for now? [04:24] ogra: no one can log in to the edubuntu server [04:25] as i said, i have otherpriorities, ldm powerbutton is only on my nice to have list [04:25] ogra: hm, ok [04:25] jelkner, look if the sshkeys are right [04:25] ogra: what are other priorities? [04:25] (or existing at all) [04:25] i tried restarting dhcp, which had died, but it still isn't working [04:25] lucasvo, my specs ... [04:25] ogra: launchpad? [04:26] jelkner, dhcpd has nothing to do with it.... as long as the clients boot, tftp, dhcp and nfs are fine [04:26] no need to look there [04:27] how do I eradicate graphical boot? [04:27] which log file should i look in? [04:27] jelkner, just look for the sshkeys ... [04:27] no logfile needed [04:27] where? [04:28] where you looked the last times you had this ... [04:28] wait [04:28] I like the obsolete: EdubuntuUserManagement ( Oliver Grawert) [04:28] /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts [04:28] ok i need to take notes this time ;-) [04:28] jelkner, ^^^ look if the current server ip shows up there [04:29] if not, run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys [04:29] then try to log in again === frayoyo [n=maxmon@dslb-084-060-214-059.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:30] lucasvo, yes, thats obsoleted by the network user management spec that goes into ubuntu anyway (but dapper+1 for the server side) [04:32] I will probably buy a new server for my ltsp, I am thinking off 2x Opteron Dual Core, will there be any problems with ltsp? [04:32] Is it working with current dapper? [04:32] not with dapper [04:32] yup [04:32] so the multiarch support is fully included by now? [04:33] its not working with breezy ... you need the multiarch patch from Yagisan that already is included in dapper [04:33] yup [04:33] and what about flash etc. ? [04:33] binary drivers? for e.g. nvidia? [04:33] thats nothing i can solve, ask macromedia :) [04:33] but is it possible to run firefox under 32bit? [04:34] how about multicore + ubuntu is it working well? [04:34] or is it overpowered for ubuntu? [04:35] not at all [04:35] multicore and smp are fine ... [04:35] for 32bit apps you'll need to build a chroot etc ... [04:36] waaa [04:36] there are debian docs for that ... [04:36] ok, I think I can live without flash [04:36] its really only flash thats missing... [04:36] what else is closed source in ubuntu? [04:36] ah, ok [04:36] java for amd64 is fine, as well as all other stuff [04:36] nvidia/ati ... [04:37] but we'll wipe all binary drivers for the thin clients anyway [04:37] I don't have a 64bit thinclient :D [04:37] heh [04:37] [4294880.753000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xaa on isa0060/serio0). [04:37] or what do you mean? [04:37] MrMazda: that happens when you press shift+page up for example [04:38] Yagisan: that's one line of corruption I typed in [04:38] dropping of the binary drivers has nothing to do with 64bit [04:38] ogra: where will the binarydrivers be dropped? [04:38] ogra: no one can log in now [04:38] ogra: on the server or in the chroot? [04:38] thats a keycode your kernel doesnt know about ... multimedia keys for example [04:38] i tried sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys [04:38] lucasvo: draws a different screen [04:38] jelkner, did you look in the file [04:38] still messed up [04:39] even on restart with vga=normal [04:39] lucasvo, in the chroot [04:39] ogra: aha, ok [04:39] yes, but what am i looking for? [04:39] /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts [04:39] ok i need to take notes this time ;-) [04:39] jelkner, ^^^ look if the current server ip shows up there [04:39] if not, run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys [04:40] i did [04:40] and i also restarted the client [04:40] was anything in there ? [04:40] in the file? [04:40] a lot is there [04:40] but i don't know what specifically i'm looking for [04:40] jelkner, ^^^ look if the current server ip shows up there [04:40] ahh === agente87 [n=agente87@51.Red-83-52-40.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:41] hi everyon [04:41] doesn't matter what my vga= line has on it, always cursor keys flood the ttys with those error messages [04:41] yes, it shows up several times [04:41] the server has two ips [04:41] they both show up [04:41] and the hostname edubuntu as well [04:41] jelkner, several times is wrong [04:42] empty the file, run the update sshkeys command again... [04:42] ok [04:42] it should show up one time as ip and one time with name [04:42] how often did you run the update command already ? === MrMazda [n=fmcz@B2a-CommercialWay-Brooksville-28.ij.net] has left #edubuntu ["going] [04:43] hi agente87 ! [04:43] hi lucas [04:44] how do you do? [04:44] well, and you? [04:44] agente87: how about your edubuntu installation? [04:44] ogra: could one just mount /home/ over nfs? [04:45] sure [04:45] agente87: maybe you could do this === kelley [n=kelley@hlfxns01bbf-142068207218.ns.aliant.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:45] i have made a shared folder [04:45] just add it in the servers fstab .... indeed you need a nfs server from where you mount it [04:45] agente87: I would suggest you install edubuntu-desktop on every client and mount /home/ over nfs [04:45] err ? [04:46] agente87: you mean on winXP? [04:46] why would you install anything on the client ? [04:46] nop, on edubuntu [04:46] agente87: ah, over the gui? [04:46] the gui? [04:47] ogra: because they have too powerful clients and too weak server === Swordxl [n=Sword_xl@2.Red-83-60-69.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:47] power of server = power of client [04:47] ok, there are 6 entries now [04:47] so you dont want ltsp, but netbooting clients ... [04:47] 2 each for edubuntu, 192.168.0.140, and 192.168.1.254 [04:47] ogra: this would be good as well [04:47] one ssh-rsa and one ssh-dss === Swordxl [n=Sword_xl@2.Red-83-60-69.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has left #edubuntu [] [04:47] jelkner, thats fine then [04:48] jelkner, make sure the ssh server is running any try to log in === kelley [n=kelley@hlfxns01bbf-142068207218.ns.aliant.net] has left #edubuntu [] [04:48] ogra: did you get my query? [04:48] nope [04:48] in my school, teachers don't want edubuntu [04:48] ogra: hm, ok [04:48] ogra: so I didn't register my nick [04:48] are your registered ? [04:48] ogra: no [04:48] ah [04:48] do it then [04:49] agente87, why ? [04:49] ogra: what's the name of the register bot? === lucasvo [n=lucasvo@www.wservices.ch] has joined #edubuntu [04:50] try /msg nickserv help [04:50] i'm trying to make them prove edubuntu [04:50] but they say they don't have time, it's new, you know [04:50] but why dont they want it ? [04:50] ah [04:50] :) fear the new :) === spacey_ki is now known as spacey [04:51] yes;-D === herman_ [n=herman@flits101-191.flits.rug.nl] has joined #edubuntu [04:51] I don't know my nick pw anymore [04:51] why must i use a shared /home/ folder? [04:51] ogra: we are in a lab with 7 terminals (one directly on the server) [04:52] 3 users are logged in [04:52] and have been all morning [04:52] no new users can log in on any of the remaining workstations [04:52] i've tried restarting ssh [04:52] ogra: do you know how I can reset my pw? [04:52] hmmm, no idea what that is ... [04:52] lucasvo, nope [04:53] crap === lucasvo is now known as lucas [04:53] nop [04:53] jelkner, thats an info you should have given before you said nobody can log in === lucas is now known as lucasvo [04:54] lucasvo: why should i use a shared /home folder? [04:54] ah now it works [04:54] agente87: that all the users have their own homedir on every client [04:54] workstation === ivan [n=ivan@194.186.210.64] has joined #edubuntu [04:55] ogra: ok [04:56] ok, like active desktop in windows [04:56] so, now that i have (late, i understand), what next? [04:56] no idea ... [04:57] ogra: could one use netboot with pxe? [04:57] sure [04:57] thats what ltsp does :) === Hemet_Ka [n=alejandr@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:58] i'm trying to get some Pentiums 100 to make a classroom with ltsp === melalcoolique [n=soliste@cim06-1-82-228-241-32.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:58] it's too complicated? i have just begin with linux [04:58] it's too complicated? i have just begun with linux === MrMazda [n=fmcz@B2a-CommercialWay-Brooksville-28.ij.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:59] nope, not complicated at all === melalcoolique [n=soliste@cim06-1-82-228-241-32.fbx.proxad.net] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"] [04:59] agente87: the only problem will be the weak server [05:00] ogra: but it looks like we've hit some edubuntu bugs [05:00] shouldn't we investigate? [05:00] i could try rebooting the server [05:01] i have spoken with my director and he will buy some ram [05:01] and let you know what happens [05:01] lucasvo: I'm not gonna file a bug on the HorizSync/VertRefresh because that original xorg.conf works OK since I've updated everything === jelkner is about to reboot the server... [05:01] MrMazda: ok [05:01] too many such bugs already, and most dupes or fixed [05:01] MrMazda: mine hasn't been fixed so far [05:02] MrMazda: I had exactly the same probelm [05:02] still the console corruption problem is huge [05:02] MrMazda: you mean the unknown key messages? [05:02] doesn't matter which vga= I use, always unknown key messages [05:02] tty corruption == unknown key messages [05:03] MrMazda: maybe it is a wrong keyboard driver? [05:03] I tried asking in #kubuntu, but that place is all noise [05:03] exactly [05:03] and ubuntu as well [05:04] MrMazda, note that the keycode errors are totally unrelated to the vga= setting [05:04] obviously [05:04] they are two different things in the kernel ... [05:04] how do I eradicate the graphical boot? === jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu === a-865 [n=fmcz@B2a-CommercialWay-Brooksville-28.ij.net] has joined #edubuntu [05:05] you mean usplash ? [05:05] whatever it is that keeps the text messages away [05:05] just remove the splash keywoprd from the kernel line [05:06] with other kernels/other distros, splash=0 or nosplash was the method, but they don't work here :-p [05:06] hey [05:07] .w 12 [05:07] sorry [05:07] ogra, do you have any knowledge on limitations of distribution about our pressed cds? [05:07] we dont even have agreement that we'll get pressed CDs yet [05:08] ogra, sorry i was supposed to say ubuntu cds in general [05:08] ogra, what i mean is for situations like this http://www.ebay.ph/viItem?ItemId=5841560525 [05:09] hmm, nope, i'm not working with the shipit team ... ask marilize, kiko or silbs if you can catch them on irc [05:09] yep [05:09] heh [05:09] how much are PHP 250 ? [05:09] in euro or $ ? [05:10] $1USD = P50 [05:10] so its $5 ? [05:10] roughly [05:10] i dont think anybody really cares [05:11] because i wouldn't like to see a situation where people here ask for CDs and sell for something like that [05:11] when they can just ask me for one [05:11] heh [05:11] we [05:11] we'll see [05:11] =) [05:11] indeed, if you have the sparetime, monitor the auction and offer them to do so ... [05:12] ;) [05:12] or point them to shipit [05:12] *lol* [05:12] courtesy of OSdir.com [05:12] ogra: thx :) [05:12] :) [05:13] i would have told you earlier, but didnt know waht your problem was :) [05:13] nfs mount takes WAY to long :( [05:13] yup, agreed [05:13] will be fixed in dapper [05:14] funnily it takes 3times as long at first boot... the second boot works like a charm ... === ealden [n=ealden@219.90.91.133] has joined #edubuntu [05:14] i havent found the root of the prob yet ... === jelkner [n=jelkner@pool-141-156-222-54.res.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu [05:15] it's really bad in single, since there is no network in single [05:15] ogra: oliver, i don't know if sabayon had anything to do with it, but i removed sabayon, we rebooted the server, and we can log in again [05:15] takes forever to time out [05:15] I forgot noauto in FSTAB [05:15] MrMazda: you mean ntp date? [05:15] MrMazda: ah nfs [05:15] jelkner, since you did it both at th same time i cant tell you either [05:15] mount -t nfs [05:16] hey jelkner [05:16] portmap: server localhost not responding [05:16] ogra: i understand, not good testing proceedure, but we are in a training session and need things to work [05:16] yup [05:16] RPC: failed to contact portmap [05:16] i'll test more in another environment later [05:16] MrMazda: /etc/init.d/portmap start [05:17] + sudo ;) [05:17] ogra: sudo su && ... [05:17] bah [05:17] bash: /etc/init.d/portmap: No such file or directory [05:17] ugh [05:18] how did you install your system ? [05:18] "workstation" from CD boot [05:18] IIRC [05:18] MrMazda: edubuntu? kubuntu? [05:18] mebbe that was edubutu [05:18] ah, ok, that doesnt install any server parts [05:18] kubuntu [05:19] kubuntu has no workstation install [05:19] kubuntu is the problem ATM [05:19] that unique in edubuntu [05:19] well than I didn't [05:19] MrMazda: exactly [05:19] well then I didn't [05:19] ;-) [05:19] since edubuntu defaults to a server install, we included this option [05:19] the nfs mounts finally finished [05:19] no other ubuntu has it [05:20] MrMazda: you need portmap [05:20] but you need portmap installed on a nfs server ... [05:20] nfs mount means nfs client [05:20] there you dont need anything ... [05:21] so why the delay mounting? [05:21] i thought you talk about ltsp ... [05:22] it doesnt happen in normal ubuntu nfs mounts === MrMazda bets the problem is the missing options [05:24] what kind of server do you run ? [05:24] just this Mandriva 2006 box [05:24] might be a misconfiguration on the server ... [05:24] nah, works fine for everything else [05:24] MrMazda: nfs on another client? [05:25] MrMazda: so you installed mandriva on you daughters pc? [05:25] mounting nfs shares between 2 ubuntu boxes takes milliseconds here [05:26] up to 1-2 seconds over 5Mbit wlan ... [05:27] :( [05:27] I have my wlan [05:27] *hate [05:27] it is stupid [05:27] slow [05:27] wokrs fine here ... [05:27] yes, thats true ... [05:27] ogra: I have it over 3 storeys [05:27] but thats a HW limitation [05:27] exactly [05:27] and money [05:28] and law limitation [05:28] law ? [05:28] 100mW? [05:28] s/law/health/ ? [05:28] I mean limitation by law [05:28] no law [05:28] maybe law is because of health [05:29] i wouldnt want something with >100Mw on my lap ... [05:29] jup [05:29] and boil my guts ... [05:29] even your nuts [05:29] heh [05:29] that's why I will soon have fibre [05:30] wireless fibre ? [05:30] i.e. a lightbulb ? [05:30] :) [05:30] ogra: ronja.twibright.com is exactly what you mean [05:31] ogra: but I will use ordinary fibre [05:32] ah, yes, i once worked with such a laser driven system... [05:32] but thats bad in snow etc ... [05:32] if you can put the link on the roof, i prefer a yagi anteanna and wlan ... [05:32] it is not laser only lled [05:33] noauto,ro,nosuid,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 instead of defaults,noauto didn't help ogra [05:33] even worse in bad waehter [05:33] which kernel does mandriva use ? [05:33] did someone say yagi ? [05:34] there were issues in older 2.6 versions ... try setting the framesizes to 1048 [05:34] err [05:34] antennae [05:34] 2048 [05:34] =) [05:34] ogra: I am a ronja developer... [05:34] 2.6.12 here === Yagisan tries to imagine himself as an antenna [05:35] on all my other boxen 8192 works fine [05:36] portmap is missing from system services :-p [05:36] in mandriva ? [05:36] thats odd [05:36] no, kubuntu [05:36] sure [05:38] as long as you dont use it as a server, you wont have such evil stuff installed [05:39] either I install it, or some different distro [05:39] you dont need protmap on the client side [05:40] every linux in this building is a nfs server [05:40] samba sux [05:40] so install nfs-kernel-server and be happy [05:40] it will install portmap alongside [05:41] but nbote that ubuntu has a policy of no open ports by default for security reasons ... so server stuff has to be instaled manually in a default ubuntu [05:42] now it wants the @#$#$ CD o_O [05:42] MrMazda: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [05:42] sure [05:42] if you didnt run synaptic to add other sources [05:42] MrMazda: and add # to the first line [05:42] I added sources yesterday [05:43] with synaptic ? [05:43] with adept [05:43] it comments the Cd entry if you add network sources [05:43] lol [05:43] adept [05:43] inept [05:43] the first packaging tool with bugzilla interface [05:44] the search functions look and feel like a bugzilla .... [05:45] the ksynaptic UI was far beyond ... but sucked in the backend ... [05:45] thats an area where kubuntu really needs improvement ... [05:54] i have Transmetta processor. can I make kernel?

[06:05] system services applet seems totally bogus [06:05] works fine here [06:05] won't let me disable pcmcia [06:05] or anything else [06:05] or tell me stuff that's running is running [06:05] but you run it woth sudo, yes ? [06:05] run what [06:06] services-admin [06:06] what else ? [06:06] we dont have anything else in edubuntu for services [06:06] all I did was click system services [06:06] this is kubuntu [06:06] so please ask in -kubuntu about it [06:06] #kubuntu [06:07] that place is a hopeless pile of noise [06:07] we're edubuntu here [06:07] and dont use KDE apart from kdeedu === jsgotangco remembers something about idiot users heh [06:07] in #kubuntu ? [06:08] no a certain osdl thread... [06:08] hehe [06:08] both #kubuntu and #unbuntu are noise jungles [06:08] heh [06:08] MrMazda, but this is exclusively for edubuntu here ... please treat it ike that [06:08] I tried to install edubuntu yesterday 3 times but had to give up and do kubuntu [06:08] i'm fine with helping for edubuntu related stuff ... [06:09] but my time is limited and i'm not willing to do Riddells work ... [06:09] freespace on / is 473212 - Is that enuf for add the edu package? [06:10] edubuntu-desktop ? [06:10] nope [06:10] as i said, you need a min amount of2.6Gb [06:11] until I stumble on a bigger disk for the kid's puter that's all there is [06:11] about 1-200MB less if yu dont have the server stuff installed [06:11] web site sys req doc should say how much is really required [06:11] I wouldn't have tried otherwise [06:11] it will [06:12] but its easy to compute from the ubuntu sizes ... [06:12] mebbe I can steal some space from doze for /home and use the whole #2 HD for edubuntu [06:12] ubuntu itself needs at least 2.2-2.4 GB [06:13] you could resize the win partition [06:13] with gparted from the liveCD [06:13] MrMazda: delete /home and mount /home over nfs [06:14] the 7G doze partition is only 44% used [06:14] but your /home is not the problem, the apps are installed in / [06:14] MrMazda: so delete doze [06:14] too soon for that [06:15] lotta stuff there === ogra goes off for a while [06:22] ogra: I'm gonna just get rid of separate /home for now and give edubuntu the whole HD [06:22] I can deal with separate /home some other time [06:22] MrMazda: and after you have been convinced by the power of edubuntu you can get rid of windoze [06:23] mebbe, but I still don't like Gnome. Kid prolly won't know difference though [06:23] MrMazda: yes [06:23] MrMazda: and you will learn to love gnome === MrMazda doubts that [06:24] /hates lack of customizability & dumbing down === MrMazda hates lack of customizability & dumbing down [06:24] gconf [06:24] another linux [06:25] fingers need a rest :-p [06:28] MrMazda: it is not dumbing down [06:28] MrMazda: it is just showing only the things one uses often [06:28] I've hated Gnome ugliness since I first saw it in 1998 [06:28] MrMazda: do you think it is still ugly? [06:29] not as bad, but still less fun than KDE [06:30] kde is ugly bloatware [06:30] :D [06:30] I propose edubuntu for city school. Here we discuss only tech or I can to get help in educaction? [06:30] hey no desktop flames here [06:31] ivan: both [06:31] do it in ubuntu-offtopic [06:31] I think the kid's puter's PS is toast :-( [06:31] won't turn back on [06:32] PS? [06:32] power supply [06:32] did that several times yesterday too [06:32] aha [06:33] ivan: what's the schools infrastructure? [06:35] I propose edubuntu for 100 schools in my city [06:37] took it back upstairs and it started right up :-p [06:37] gonna try gparted then add the edu package [06:37] ivan: cool [06:38] ivan: that's awesome [06:38] ivan: where? [06:39] in Samara in Russia. [06:44] lucasvo: FWIW, I use SeaMonkey rather than Firefox due to the missing features in FF [06:44] I like lotsa choices === tom [n=tom@217.20.115.103] has joined #edubuntu === juliux [n=julius@irz7144.inf.tu-dresden.de] has joined #edubuntu === lucasvo_ [n=lucasvo@www.wservices.ch] has joined #edubuntu [06:52] Do use anybody edubuntu in school for study math or phusic? [06:53] ivan: there are some applications for math and physics [06:54] kmplot for e.g. [06:57] Yes, i know. But I interesting how use in class? How method? May be it is strange questions for West, but in East we have to plan. [06:57] ivan: we dont use pc in class for now... [06:57] at our school [07:00] It's strange. On our TV and in the our newspaper we see many west school with many pc. [07:02] The Rissia goverment plan to use pc in the school [07:03] In 2006 more 10 000 pc will be install in the schools for education === Yagisan blinks at clock, 5am, better get to bed.

[09:28] was [09:29] repartitioned, installing edubuntu again [09:29] qtparted wouldn't work [09:29] so started from scratch [09:29] oh, I never used it. I always used cfdisk (command line) [09:30] I wanted to delete /home and enlarge / [09:30] it wouldn't let me do anything with / [09:38] MrMazda, used a liveCd as i advised before ? === Hemet_Ka [n=alejandr@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [09:39] livecd I had was Knoppix with qtparted [09:39] uuh, knoppix ... [09:39] isnt that fully 2.4 based ? [09:39] 2.6.11 IIRC, v4.0 [09:39] ah, then i wonder why it didnt work [09:40] new ver every 4 months or so [09:40] blocked the target partition, no idea why [09:40] gparted on the ubuntu livecd is proven to work with all ext* partitions as well as with most win based partitions [09:40] lotta stuff in Knoppix is like tht [09:40] how can i open squashfs files? [09:41] since its only a frontend to parted, i guess qtparted would work as well .. [09:41] MrMazda: did you try latest DamnSamllLinux? [09:41] no [09:41] Hemet_Ka, where in edubuntu do you use squashfs ? [09:41] DSL is a very nice and small livecd that lets you do plenty [09:42] ogra, I'm trying to open a file of a CD [09:42] MrMazda: however, i do not remember exactly about its partition system (again, cfdisk is simple and very efective) [09:42] Hemet_Ka, an iso ? [09:42] you can just loop mount it [09:43] Corel, Caldera, RedHat, Knoppix, Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, Mandriva, Xandros all I ever used b4 trying edubuntu/kubuntu yesterday [09:43] MrMazda: iirc DSL is about 50 MB only and its gui is prety cool [09:43] AFAIK, cfdisk cannot resize [09:43] nope, it cannot [09:43] ogra, it's a file put in a live cd [09:43] MrMazda: maybe right [09:44] MrMazda: but i doubt you have info already there, do you? [09:44] Hemet_Ka, no idea, and there is no edubuntu liveCD yet ... [09:44] I do all my partitioning with http://www.dfsee.com/ but it won't resize ext2 [09:44] MrMazda: why you chose ext2 over 3? [09:44] same difference [09:44] yes, that an intresting choice [09:44] same difference in the partition tables [09:45] ogra: what? [09:45] choosing ext2 over 3 [09:45] ogra, I'm using edubuntu, but the live cd is of necromantux [09:45] ah [09:45] ext3 is ext3 [09:45] ext3 is ext2 [09:45] ohh, hehehe, I always endup doing mkfs.ext3 :) [09:45] Hemet_Ka, but still, there is no method i know [09:45] :S [09:46] anyway.. thanks ogra and bye === Hemet_Ka [n=alejandr@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has left #edubuntu ["Abandonando"] [09:47] he should probably use squashfs-tools :) [09:47] /boot -> ext2; / -> ext3 [09:48] same type 83 for both in the tables [09:51] wohoo ... i can read out the phonebook of my razr v3 :) [09:51] time to write a gui app :) [09:57] ogra: what's that? [09:57] my mobile ... [09:57] a mobile [09:57] ok [09:57] a very recent motorola [09:57] nice [09:58] bluetooth? [09:58] and you can just access it via imple AT commands [09:58] *simple [09:58] bluetooth too...

[10:01] all that regarding Mauricio Hernandez, of course [10:01] if i find the way pumping data *into* the phone, i can just send my evolution addressbook, including IM data (there is a jabber blient for this phone) [10:01] cool! [10:02] but anyway,just a pet project ... typically for never being finished ;) [10:02] I whish evolution could have 'threaded' calendars, tasks and addressbooks === crimsun [n=crimsun@66.248.140.183] has joined #edubuntu [10:02] ogra: hehehe inded === patetico [n=insomnia@200.72.158.95] has joined #edubuntu [10:04] even more cool would be bluetooth acces, registering an alsa device and being able to use a headset attached to my lappie to use the phone ...

[10:34] nope [10:34] he mailed me some bzr questions... [10:34] but we havent met [10:35] :( [10:35] me neither === mhz is making his custom === \sh_away is now known as \sh [11:13] mount: unknown filesystem type: nfs :( [11:13] ogra: u there? install done, and badly [11:14] but you read the docs as advised in the topic ? [11:14] day or two ago [11:14] and follwed it ? [11:14] can't remember it all after 7 installs [11:14] whats wrong with the install ? [11:14] no X, corrupt consoles, no nfs [11:15] hmm, what did you do ? youre the first person reporting probs there [11:16] kubuntu had no problem configuring usable X without any help [11:16] its the same configuration tool [11:16] I dunno, that's what happened [11:16] apart from the desktop all ubuntus are 100% identical [11:16] without nfs can't get logs onto server to upload for anyone to look at [11:17] so only if you did soemthing that broke the install thic could happen [11:17] have you seen any errors ? [11:17] EE stuff in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:18] nope, i mean during the install ... [11:18] I wasn't looking the whole 2 hours [11:18] it should run cleanly until it starts X in the end of the process [11:18] with a reboot in the middle [11:19] maybe it doesn't like me interrupting that in order to put my bootloader back the way it found it? [11:19] rude to not ask me where to put bootloader [11:19] oh, so you didnt use the default install [11:19] tried workstation install [11:20] thats fine ... [11:20] isn't there some installation log somewhere? [11:20] then your install is 100% identical with kubuntu, except that gnoem is installed instead of kde, i wonder what happened there [11:20] sure, in 7var/lo7onstaller and /var/log/base-config [11:21] GRRRR [11:21] /var/log/istaller [11:21] *installer [11:21] sorry, its very late here [11:21] I got apt configured with universe and installed mc [11:21] post install ? [11:21] yes [11:21] thats fine ... [11:22] but why no nfs? [11:22] but the broken install is what bothers me... also 2h are *very* unusual [11:22] I thought that was in kernel? [11:22] nope, its modular, but gets auoloaded [11:22] by hotplug ... [11:22] as all modules are [11:23] which CD did you use ? [11:23] en 5.10 edubuntu [11:23] the 5.10 release ? or a daily from the de release [11:23] *dev [11:24] 13 Oct [11:24] hmm, never saw anyone having probs with it ... [11:24] my birthday [11:24] oh, then you have on the same day as our CTO :) [11:24] 54 years later [11:24] sure ? [11:25] so you are in the 70s ? [11:25] ? [11:25] 1951 [11:25] ah [11:25] he is something like 27 or 28 years old .... [11:25] Kubunto Official Release 13 Oct, right? [11:26] so 54+27 would be quite old ;) [11:26] Edubuntu Official Release 13 Oct, right? [11:26] yup [11:26] same base, different desktop [11:26] I could install kubuntu again, than add the edu pkg [11:26] thats what i mean, its pretty unusual that you have probs there ... [11:27] all because qtparted wouldn't let me resize [11:27] since the X server/autodetection etc are 100% the same [11:27] I'll go try one more time [11:27] if that doesn't work, back to SuSE [11:27] hmm :/ [11:28] SuSE was good, but isn't anymore [11:28] did anything change with the HW between kubuntu and this install ? [11:28] works for me [11:28] I havn't tried opensuse [11:28] just moved the box downstairs then back upstairs [11:28] yes, but i would be sad to loose a user .. [11:29] leaving mc out of a base install is one strike to start with, and console non-working is strike 2; only save is tty works OK in runlevel 1 [11:29] exactly [11:29] different monitor ? [11:30] nope [11:30] identical [11:30] debians always give me headaches rpms don't [11:30] hmm, so why did X detection work in kubuntu but not in edubuntu then :/ [11:30] had Xandros mostly working [11:31] Xandros was mostly nice, but it too has broken ttys [11:31] i never saw xandros ... [11:31] upstairs I used a different USB mouse [11:31] hmm.... [11:32] same one that worked with kubuntu [11:32] could you try with the same HW you used in kubuntu ? [11:32] it IS the same [11:32] especially the WS install should be a no brainer .. [11:32] except [11:33] answer 10 questions and just wait till its finished ... no rocket sience ... [11:33] I think I typed in 'linux workstation vga=788' instead of just workstation [11:33] ah [11:33] that might have broken it ... [11:33] just use workstation [11:33] any thoughts of using graphical installation? [11:33] did you use such a string with kubuntu ? [11:33] there is one? [11:33] nope [11:33] don't remember what I started kubuntu with [11:34] prolly just enter [11:34] dapper will have the ubuntu express installer ... [11:34] dapper needs to ask where I want boot loader [11:34] ogra: what is ubuntu express installer? [11:34] so we will stop sending out install CD through shipit and ship only the liveCD with ubuntu/kubuntu express [11:34] ah, cool [11:35] saves 50% of money [11:35] I'm gonna go start again with just workstation [11:35] ogra: I was thinking about asking to include such a function to dapper [11:35] MrMazda, thanks :) [11:35] lucasvo, it was long planned ... [11:35] ogra: guess great minds are similar [11:35] :D [11:36] we already planned it at the sydney conference for breezy ... but switching to gcc4 and modular X took to long in breezy [11:36] so there was no time left for development [11:37] and i was planned for the gui stuff in the beginning, before i suddenly got edubuntu assigned 3 months before release date ... [11:37] so i had no time at all to work on it and had to care for building edubuntu instead ... [11:39] I think this has more priority [11:39] what about yast, I am quite surprised, yast didn't gain popularity when it became oss [11:40] because its crap [11:40] MrMazda is right, suse once was a very nice distro ... [11:40] then they invented yast2 ... [11:41] nd stopped doing things right ... which they did before === lucasvo remembers when he was 7 and was looking at his neighbours screen running an xterm and yast [11:41] i remember the first suse i saw ... [11:42] it was 14 floppys and basicly a slackware with added value :) [11:42] :D [11:42] when I first saw it there was already a CD [11:43] i decided to go with the *real* slackware back then .... [11:43] and was very soon forced to use debian by my job ... [11:44] my friend had a linux from scratch but now he doesn't have time anymore next to work [11:45] ogra: copying from CD ... [11:45] great :) [11:45] other distros I usually do FTP installs [11:46] other distros also come on 20 CDs ;) [11:46] or 7 or 8 or 5 or 3 :) [11:46] hehe [11:46] yes :) [11:47] we have either a DVD (with all supported software) or the CD ... [11:47] putting all 17000 packages on media would result in about 5 stuffed DVDs [11:48] or even more ... [11:48] I bought the SuSE 10 box, came with no manual, made me very mad [11:48] if the distro is good enough to need no manual, thats fine imho ... [11:49] need some manual every now and then [11:49] i agree with stallman in this point ... a real perfect software is good enough to need a manual ... [11:49] my last too old for udev and 2.6 kernels [11:49] sadly there is no real perfect software in this world *G* [11:49] sure there is, OS/2 :) [11:49] heh [11:50] a bit outdated though ... [11:50] did you try the new version ? [11:50] they released something this year iirc [11:50] kernel I'm running is 3 months old [11:50] 849,262 bytes [11:51] doesn't limit me to 15 SATA partitions either [11:52] i dont even have 15 partitions in use ... [11:52] nowhere [11:53] http://www.ecomstation.com/ [11:53] this disk has about 40 [11:53] this also has about 40 [11:53] but what for ? [11:53] FIFO [11:53] backup [11:53] lotsa smalls [11:54] the ecomstation gui somewhat reminds me on amiga ... [11:54] I've preordered 2.0 [11:55] the OS/2 WPS is why people stay instead of switching [11:56] IBM moved the primary OS/2 kernel hacker onto Linux 1 Dec, so the future is not bright [11:57] why ? he could enhance linux with os/2 features :) [11:58] http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.os2.bugs/msg/1ee73f8bbddfac18?hl=en& [11:59] yes, but he's agreat mind, so it will get linux forward ... the OS/2 business is a dead end as long as ibm doesnt want to invest there [12:00] The eCS people want to eventually have the OS/2 desktop working on BSD or something like that [12:00] people aren't web to OS/2, only its WPS [12:00] people aren't wed to OS/2, only its WPS [12:01] yes, but still, there is no business model behind it anymore ... as long as nobody pays, it will die or idle around in slow development [12:02] as BSD it will become a niche product ... [12:02] so how long should a edubuntu WS install take anyway? [12:03] been about 20 min since start [12:03] less than 1h on recent HW [12:03] not recent [12:03] PIII-350 [12:03] so around 1h then [12:03] its a question of disk/CD speed [12:03] not the CPU [12:03] CD prolly only 4X [12:03] mebbe 8X [12:03] ah, k then it migh take longer [12:04] another FTP install advantage - don't need fast readers
