tinsleycOgra, mhz suggested I visit with you about the edubuntu dapper dailies.  Has he visited with you at all about our experiences and what we have learned so far... basically, that as end users, there is not much we can do with because they won't load succesfully.02:17
crimsuntinsleyc: it's pretty late for him, might want to check back in 12 hrs.02:23

=== mhz has just burnt his 1st 870 MB cds
jsgotangco870MB???04:53
mhzyup04:53
mhz99 min04:53
mhzI saw a 10 CD pack of them04:54
jsgotangcothat's a strange lot04:54
mhzand I just needed to have one04:54
mhz;)04:54
=== mhz crosses his fingers it boots ;)
jsgotangcooh it should04:54
jsgotangcohehe04:54
jsgotangcoit just has extra space04:54
jsgotangcoyou can easily burn any 650-up iso even in a dvd and it boots04:55
jsgotangco(as long as you have a dvd drive)04:55
=== mhz doesnt have DVD drive
mhzthe ibook that got stolen had DVD :(04:56
jsgotangcoi was playing around with opensuse during the weekend04:57
mhzis it lovely as SuSe?04:58
jsgotangcoyes04:58
jsgotangcoit just doesn't have the non-free stuff04:58
jsgotangcoit would have been nicer if the thing fit in 1 cd instead of 504:58
jsgotangco(at least the installer and the base apps)04:58
mhzeehehehe04:58
mhzyup,04:58
mhz1 cd is better04:58
mhzalways04:58
jsgotangcobut a default install needs up to cd 504:58
jsgotangcobut the install base is only 1.8GB similar to ubuntu04:59
mhzgood04:59
jsgotangcoso that means the apps are just not properly placed in the cds04:59
jsgotangco(or the compression really sucks)04:59
jsgotangcobut its really nice, i pop in a blank disc and k3b comes out05:00
jsgotangcoeven the gnome apps look like kde05:01
jsgotangcoheh05:01
jsgotangcoit even has beagle running by default in the gnome install05:01

mhz_libretinsleyc: shoot05:16
jsgotangcomhz_libre, buy a 870MB disc drive? hehe05:16
tinsleycI have edubuntu running.  I have PXE'd a workstation to boot.  I have a login screen but now I need to configure users in NIS.  Is there a utility for this on the LTSP side or schooltool?05:16
=== mhz_libre is now known as mhz
tinsleycHow's the job prospects?05:17
mhztinsleyc: AFAIK, there are some stuff being developed for edubuntu dapper 05:18
mhzbut I dont remember about NIS05:18
mhztinsleyc: why need NIS?05:18
tinsleycI saw that.  Have you set up a Edubuntu network and logged in users from a diskless workstation.  I tried my one user ID and I can't authenticate. It is my understanding that LTSP using NIS for user management but I could not be understanding..05:20
mhztinsleyc: LTSP (edubuntu) uses SSH05:20
tinsleycNIS used to be YP (Yellow Pages)05:20

tinsleycAll I know at the moment is that the login screen won't let me authenicate with my normal user login that I can use on the Edubuntu Desktop that runs on the server.05:21
mhztinsleyc: in the server, try05:21
mhzltsp-update-sshkeys05:21
mhzor something like that05:21
tinsleychold on while I kvm over to that box.05:22
mhzLTSP had a stupid bug that it usually faild the 1st two times :)05:22
tinsleycwhat usually fails 1st two times.05:23
tinsleycthe command or the login?05:23
mhzthe login05:23
mhzif you hadnt run the ltsp-update-sshkey 05:24
tinsleycokay I will try it again.  It seems to accept my login, screen goes black, get an x and then the gdm login screen again.  No I hadn't ran the ltsp-update-sskey command.  Do I need to do a restart of anything?05:25
mhztinsleyc: GDM?05:25
mhzor LDM?05:25
mhztinsleyc: nope, no restart needed05:26
mhzBUT, I assume you followed InstallNotes ?05:26
tinsleycgnome.  It worked.  Apparently it was needing the ltsp-update-sshkey.  Followed the install notes to the letter including nat.05:26
mhzso your environement is 'default' (except for the lan settings)05:26
mhztinsleyc: cool! I am glad to help05:27
mhz(finally!!!)05:27
tinsleycI still need to figure out how to redirect the audio to the diskless workstation and other housekeeping.  I just noticed when I logged in, the ubunutu sound played on the server.05:28
tinsleycthanks for the pointer to the sshkey command.  I didn't see that documented anywhere.05:28
mhztinsleyc: no audio yet05:29
tinsleycaudio plays on the server, not the workstation.05:29
mhztinsleyc: you are talking about dapper or breezy?05:29
tinsleycbreezy05:29
mhzahhhh05:29
mhzno audio yet for W.S05:29

mhzoh05:33
mhzoh - oh05:33
mhz(so you can see it in two screens :D )05:33
tinsleyc_Another thing that would be nice is to have a different wall paper either on the server or the workstation so I can tell which desktop I am on :-)05:33
mhz(so you can see it in two screens :D )05:33
tinsleyc_Yes05:33
tinsleyc_You see there are two tinsleyc's out there right now in the session.05:33

=== mhz has only worked with CUPS, so he has set printers everywhere :)
tinsleyc_So have I.  I have a lab here, 6 systems currently running including the diskless.05:36
tinsleyc_But a default install of the breezy unbuntu does give you one desktop.05:37
mhztinsleyc: oh, yes, you are right05:38
mhzI just dont use it05:38
tinsleyc_I am going to be presenting this system in a demo at my Linux User Group this Thursday so it is nice that is working as well as it and the speed is awesome.05:39
mhztinsleyc: I am VERY happy05:39
mhzand I know the devels, too05:39
tinsleyc_What have you used for documentation?  The skolelinux or the tuxmanual?05:40
tinsleyc_LTSP also has a 60 page RFTM05:40
tinsleyc_In my research, I found that this implementation broke new ground and was nick name MooCow :-D05:41

carstenogra_ibook: in the kalzium deb in breezy for kde 3.5 there is a missing compiletime deb02:29

ogra_ibookwe dont support kde 3.5 02:29

carstenogra_ibook: ok, then for dapper :)02:29
ogra_ibookplease talk to the guys that package it02:30
carstenI was told that is you02:30
ogra_ibooki think its fine in dapper02:30
ogra_ibookno, i dont package unofficial backports for breezy :)02:30

carstenbeside that libfacile is a very stable product03:01
carstenogra_ibook: well, the advantage is that it is a feature. :) Beside the fact that I don't know any eq-solver for linux it is pretty cool. It solves all kinds of equations, including charges.03:02

PetarisWould it be possible to run 50 clients with a single server, using OpenOffice.org 2 and Firefox primarily?08:08
juliuxPetaris, if you have enough ram yes08:09
PetarisDo you think 8GB would be enough?08:10

mhz_lunchPetaris: afaik, the bottlenecks of LTSP env. is both HD access to data and network capacitiy to transfer data08:18
=== mhz_lunch is now known as mhz
Petarismhz: It would be Gbit switches and Gbit nics on the server but 10/100 nics on the clients08:19
Petarisand two WD Raptor 74GB in RAID 108:19
mhzandso it sounds like you are all set :)08:19
Petarisright08:19
Petariscool08:19
mhzPetaris: it would be great to know the reality v/s theory :D08:20
mhzI have no way to test it like you can 08:20
Lord_Athurhi08:20
PetarisI don't have that equipt yet, just the small lab, 25 clients with 4GB ram08:20
Petarisits fairly speedy until they fire up vmplayer08:21
mhzso it would very cool to see those results. OOO and Firefox (runing flash sites) are a nice test08:21
Petaris:)08:21
mhztheory says that if you can have 48 MB of ram available on each client side and 128 MB of ram per client on the server side, then results of performance are good for norml applications08:22
mhzOOO and Firefox are applications I consider over the 'normal' category08:23
mhzyour hardware looks like lot more than  'normal' and so I guess the performances would be very good on the app. you mention08:24
Petarisright08:24
Petarisjust not quite enough for vmplayer on more then 12 clients ATM08:25

mhzLord_Athur: honestly, with lots of sugar on top, I truly dont understand what you are trying to do, jumping from one distro to another every day or hour, so I hardly understand what you expect from us, people who are trying to improve Edubuntu and Ubuntu related issues. Of course, I hope I can help you one day when I start working on making live CDs or metadistros, but before that, I have no clue.11:57
