| PWEB | hi | 04:01 |
| PWEB | is there a way to put edubuntu over ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| jsgotangco | yes | 04:03 |
| jsgotangco | sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop | 04:04 |
| jsgotangco | sudo apt-get install edubuntu-server | 04:04 |
| jsgotangco | sudo apt-get install edubuntu-artwork | 04:04 |
| jsgotangco | well there are a couple of packages but edubuntu-desktop would do for desktop use :) | 04:04 |
| PWEB | where do i apt-get from (the edubuntu cd?) | 04:05 |
| jsgotangco | no from the network | 04:05 |
| jsgotangco | they're all in main | 04:05 |
| PWEB | how? (1st day on linux....);) | 04:06 |
| jsgotangco | ahhh | 04:06 |
| jsgotangco | open up synaptic | 04:06 |
| PWEB | ok | 04:06 |
| PWEB | opened | 04:06 |
| jsgotangco | search for "edubuntu" | 04:06 |
| jsgotangco | it should give you results | 04:07 |
| jsgotangco | then just select edubuntu-desktop | 04:07 |
| jsgotangco | the click apply | 04:07 |
| PWEB | u rock! -- some reason that didnt work putting kubuntu over ubuntu | 04:09 |
| jsgotangco | hmm | 04:09 |
| jsgotangco | kubuntu-desktop | 04:09 |
| jsgotangco | :) | 04:09 |
| PWEB | yep it wasnt there | 04:09 |
| jsgotangco | oh? | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | KGG Marvin Pascual? Sounds good to me! | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | err | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | sorry | 04:10 |
| PWEB | i insted it from the iso - extracted the iso to a folder -- cd'ed to it and inst'ed from there | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | ahh | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | hmmm | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | you can get it from the network though | 04:11 |
| jsgotangco | not sure how to update from another cd | 04:11 |
| PWEB | now i will select edubuntu when i login to ubuntu right? | 04:12 |
| jsgotangco | nahhh | 04:12 |
| jsgotangco | edubuntu-desktop installs the edubuntu package but still uses ubuntu core components | 04:13 |
| PWEB | b/c thats what i do w/ kubuntu | 04:13 |
| PWEB | login and select it | 04:13 |
| PWEB | well, select it and login | 04:13 |
| jsgotangco | edubuntu is stll gnome | 04:13 |
| jsgotangco | with just different artwork | 04:13 |
| PWEB | oh -- will it overide my ubuntu? | 04:14 |
| jsgotangco | edubuntu is still ubuntu | 04:14 |
| jsgotangco | both use gnome | 04:14 |
| jsgotangco | when you log into gnome again, you'll see some added applications | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | like the kdedu apps | 04:15 |
| PWEB | but this will have the education KDE too;ls | 04:15 |
| PWEB | right | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | gcompris, tuxmath, etc. | 04:15 |
| PWEB | will i login to ubuntu or gnome | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | its the same | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | there's no ubuntu login | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | its either gnome or another DE installed | 04:15 |
| PWEB | oh right | 04:16 |
| PWEB | it says Last -- not ubuntu | 04:16 |
| PWEB | got confused | 04:16 |
| PWEB | ever use linspire? | 04:16 |
| jsgotangco | well not lately | 04:16 |
| PWEB | oh | 04:17 |
| jsgotangco | i hear its pretty good | 04:17 |
| PWEB | can you play half life on linux? | 04:17 |
| jsgotangco | haven't tried | 04:18 |
| jsgotangco | you can try #ubuntu | 04:18 |
| === arkan0x [n=arkan0x@pc-71-87-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| PWEB | lol doubt it | 04:18 |
| jsgotangco | you can ask at #ubuntu though | 04:18 |
| PWEB | ok | 04:19 |
| jsgotangco | you'll probably get better replies there because that is more of a user channel comapred here | 04:19 |
| PWEB | lol IRC is a funny thing! | 04:20 |
| PWEB | linux is so fast compared to the clunky windows im used to | 04:21 |

| Bart11 | hello ppl... | 09:58 |
| Bart11 | i just installed edubuntu... i did not promt me for the root pass. what is the deafult root pass? | 09:59 |
| highvoltage | Bart11: there's not a root password | 10:02 |
| highvoltage | Bart11: the first user you created is sudo-root | 10:03 |
| highvoltage | so you can type "sudo command" to excecute something as root | 10:03 |
| highvoltage | if you want a root shell, type "sudo -s" | 10:03 |
| highvoltage | it will then prompt you for your password | 10:03 |
| Bart11 | ok... | 10:03 |
| Bart11 | ill try that now | 10:04 |
| Bart11 | thanx... how can i change the root pass? sorry i'm a noob.. just installed this to get my daughter to play with gcompris | 10:06 |
| Kaiser_Away | don't enable root | 10:08 |
| === Kaiser_Away is now known as Kamping_kaiser | ||
| highvoltage | Bart11: Kamping_kaiser is right, it's best not to enable root, edubuntu is just not designed that way :) | 10:10 |
| highvoltage | using sudo you can do everything you can with root | 10:10 |
| highvoltage | -but | 10:10 |
| highvoltage | to answer your question, if you really, really want a root account, you can do a "sudo passwd root", but don't do that! | 10:10 |
| Bart11 | y? | 10:11 |
| highvoltage | some things break | 10:11 |
| Bart11 | oh ok | 10:11 |
| highvoltage | for instance, if you boot into the rescue mode, it's supposed to drop you into a root shell | 10:11 |
| highvoltage | but if you set a root password, and forget it, it's a bit more difficult to get into single user mode to reset it | 10:11 |
| Bart11 | ah ok... thanx | 10:12 |
| highvoltage | that's one problem we've had with a school before | 10:12 |
| highvoltage | but generally it's always good to use a system as it is intended to be used :) | 10:12 |
| Bart11 | i have another problem... i ahve a 15 inch aoc monitor and i can't get a resolution higher than 800x600 how can i fix this? | 10:13 |
| Bart11 | i'd like to atleast have a resolution of 1024x768 | 10:16 |
| Kamping_kaiser | Bart11: you have to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:20 |
| Kamping_kaiser | that should be able to fix it | 10:20 |
| === signifer123 [n=michael@pool-141-157-88-80.balt.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| Bart11 | ill have to run that in sudo root in a terminal right? | 10:22 |
| Kamping_kaiser | yeh | 10:23 |
| Kamping_kaiser | you have to run sudo in a terminal | 10:23 |
| Bart11 | ok.. i'll do that now. | 10:23 |
| ogra | Bart11, https://wiki.edubuntu.org/RootSudo | 10:25 |
| ogra | :) | 10:25 |
| ogra | there is no problem in enabling root on edubuntu, just keep in mind that all gui tools that ask for the password still use sudo... it can get very confusing to enable root through this, but does no harm to the system ... | 10:35 |

| TOZII | Is there any certain amount of hard disk space that we should have per account with edubuntu? | 10:48 |
| signifer123 | no...not really... | 10:48 |
| signifer123 | but you can limit the size of a users file qith the quota tool | 10:50 |
| signifer123 | with* | 10:50 |
| TOZII | We're gonna have 1 server, 10 nodes, 50 accounts, and a RAID array of 8 18 Gb drives.... | 10:51 |
| TOZII | Do we have enough space? | 10:52 |
| signifer123 | for storing student files? | 10:52 |
| TOZII | Yes. | 10:52 |
| signifer123 | just documents and other simple things or larger things like raw graphics | 10:52 |
| signifer123 | ? | 10:52 |
| signifer123 | actually nvm | 10:53 |
| signifer123 | thats plenty of space | 10:53 |
| TOZII | Some image editing, documents, Newsletter files, homework, etc.... | 10:53 |
| signifer123 | thats nearly 3 gigs per student | 10:53 |
| signifer123 | its fine | 10:54 |
| TOZII | I'm a noob, I thoght RAIDS were redundant. | 10:54 |
| signifer123 | what kind of RAID you have? | 10:54 |
| TOZII | I dunno. | 10:54 |
| TOZII | I know that it's external. | 10:55 |
| signifer123 | i don't now much about raids..either... | 10:56 |
| signifer123 | so you really have 1.5 gigs per student since the other 1.5 is backup | 10:56 |
| TOZII | I'm studying up now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID | 10:57 |
| signifer123 | :) | 10:57 |
| signifer123 | so having a raid doesn't tell you much, since theres like 12 types :-P | 11:03 |
| Bart11 | kamping_kaiser: does edubunto have a gui for setting up the xserver like mandrake and suse? | 11:06 |
| ogra | nope | 11:06 |
| signifer123 | not a very pretty one | 11:06 |
| Kamping_kaiser | Bart11: not in the way you think | 11:06 |
| Kamping_kaiser | dpkg is the gui :) | 11:06 |
| ogra | its done fully automatic ... normally you dont need to touch the X config at all | 11:06 |
| signifer123 | yeah ^^ | 11:06 |
| ogra | raed this as in 99.5% you wont touch it ... | 11:07 |
| Bart11 | i has my screen size limited to 800x600 and i want it to be 1024x768, is there an easy way to do taht? | 11:08 |
| Bart11 | taht | 11:08 |
| Bart11 | that | 11:08 |
| ogra | on a thin client ? | 11:08 |
| ogra | or do you use the workstation version ... | 11:08 |
| Bart11 | i installed the workstation, its just for my kid | 11:09 |
| ogra | then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:09 |
| ogra | the values in there are the detected ones, so just hit enter until you come to the mode selection | 11:09 |
| signifer123 | hit enter till the end where you select the dispaly mode :) | 11:09 |
| signifer123 | aww... | 11:09 |
| signifer123 | beat me | 11:09 |
| Bart11 | i did and now my xserver wont work. i just formatted my hd and reinstalling now | 11:10 |
| signifer123 | ohh....kinda weird... | 11:10 |
| signifer123 | ogra: does adding them to xorg.conf actually work? | 11:11 |
| Bart11 | yeah, i tried mandrake 9 on that pc and i had no problem with the settings anfter install. | 11:11 |
| ogra | signifer123, yes, but you have to do some tweaks if you want to be able to use dpkg then ... | 11:12 |
| signifer123 | ok. | 11:12 |
| jsgotangco | see you guys later in the meeting | 11:13 |
| jsgotangco | ciao | 11:13 |
| signifer123 | cya | 11:13 |
| TOZII | The meeting will be in this channel? | 11:14 |
| ogra | nope | 11:14 |
| ogra | in #ubuntu-meeting | 11:14 |
| Bart11 | does ubuntu have some problems with built-in video cards by via? | 11:14 |
| signifer123 | i think it jsut underestimates alot of cards...it topped mine off at 1024x768 | 11:15 |
| signifer123 | i tihnk it sticks all built ins at 640x480 though | 11:18 |
| Bart11 | ubunto uses xorg, not xfree86? | 11:19 |
| signifer123 | yeah... | 11:19 |
| Kamping_kaiser | built ins you probably have to put aside system memory, so it gets a low res (well, there's my theory to start with) | 11:20 |
| Bart11 | yeah it shares 8 mb from system mem. have 256mb installed, had no problems with it, using mandrake 9 and 10.1 using xfree86, maybe its an xorg thing? | 11:21 |

| Yagisan | mhz: that was a nice little system I build out of an ubuntu box. BTW does the website seem slow to you ? | 01:16 |
| Yagisan | mhz: a book ? | 01:16 |
| Yagisan | mhz: I like books. they still work in power outages :) | 01:16 |
| Yagisan | mhz: TheOpenCd - that's the one with OSS apps for Windows right ?\ | 01:20 |
| mhz | yuyp | 01:21 |
| Yagisan | mhz: cool. I'm remastering Windows cd's now. putting on services packs, hotfixes, new drivers, and a selection of OSS apps | 01:23 |
| Yagisan | mhz: If I knew how, I'd also add ubuntu to it and put it on dvd | 01:23 |
| mhz | ohhh | 01:24 |
| mhz | why? | 01:24 |
| Yagisan | mhz: need it for the customers. I find it funny that I know more about re,atering windows cd's then ubuntu ones | 01:24 |
| Yagisan | mhz: besides, I can fit all Win2K,XP,3K on 1 cd | 01:25 |
| mhz | lol | 01:25 |
| Yagisan | mhz: I kid you not !!! they are almost identical. all you need to do is hard link the files that are identical | 01:26 |
| mhz | oooohhhh | 01:26 |
| Yagisan | mhz: And yet they charge $300AU for an update ?? almost nothing changes, it's unbelievable. still, I can start the migration to linux based systems by putting the OSS apps there on install | 01:28 |
| Yagisan | mhz: and when I figure out how to add ubuntu, I can literally show them there is almost no difference | 01:28 |

| jsgotangco | beastie_, yo | 02:26 |
| jsgotangco | mhz, i'm really screaming for translations now... | 02:27 |
| beastie_ | does edubuntu login authentication via ldap server ? | 02:27 |
| jsgotangco | anything outside the current toolchain can be hard for translations | 02:27 |
| beastie_ | does it support pam_ldap ? | 02:29 |
| mhz | jsgotangco: sorry, could you rephrase? | 02:36 |
| mhz | beastie_: no idea... but...ig gnulinux supports it... then yes, whyt not? | 02:36 |
| mhz | OR, you mean LTSP? | 02:37 |
| beastie_ | not ltsp..just authenticate via ldap service | 02:37 |
| mhz | jsgotangco: sorry, could you rephrase? | 02:46 |
| zakame | I believe beastie_ means if edubuntu can be configured as an LDAP directory server | 02:47 |
| jsgotangco | mhz, doing things in docbook makes it easier for us to create translation templates based the gnome toolchain | 02:48 |
| ogra | sure, slapd is in universe pam_ldap should be supported | 02:48 |
| ogra | but you need to configure it manually | 02:48 |
| mhz | zakame: oh, then my answer was 'correct' considering the typos ;) | 02:49 |
| ogra | we dont focus beyond a single classroom server yet ... so there is no need for ldap | 02:49 |
| mhz | jsgotangco: oh, i guess you are right | 02:49 |
| ogra | it will be available with a default setup once we grow to school size | 02:50 |
| zakame | mhz: well that could be a bug :) | 02:50 |

| thefamousnomo | orga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 06:24 |
| thefamousnomo | i nearly gave up! | 06:24 |
| ogra | so whats your prob ? | 06:24 |
| thefamousnomo | not getting any sound in some of the gcompris activities! | 06:25 |
| thefamousnomo | is this an issue? | 06:25 |
| ogra | thats breezy or dapper ? | 06:25 |
| thefamousnomo | breezy my friend | 06:25 |
| ogra | and do you have the appropriate gcompris sounds installed for your language ? | 06:26 |
| thefamousnomo | desktop sounds fine, tuxpaint fine, just the point & click activities! | 06:26 |
| thefamousnomo | not sure, how to do? | 06:26 |
| thefamousnomo | i am able to switch on sound and music, from tick to cross... | 06:27 |
| thefamousnomo | and back... | 06:27 |
| ogra | open synaptic and look if the gcompris-sound-** package for your language is installed | 06:27 |
| ogra | if not, install it and it should work fine | 06:28 |
| thefamousnomo | machine for my son is not on network, any way to do this without shifting machine? | 06:28 |
| ogra | first just take a look if its installed ... | 06:28 |
| ogra | (requires no network) | 06:29 |
| thefamousnomo | sorry man, will do, brb. thanks ogra! | 06:29 |
| thefamousnomo | yeah got that man, gcompris-sound-en is installed ogra | 06:38 |
| ogra | hmm, then it should work .... | 06:39 |
| thefamousnomo | specifically the sounds on 'click on the orange toon' activity, hes only 3! | 06:39 |
| thefamousnomo | hoping to start early... need sound to keep his attention! | 06:40 |
| ogra | yes, i understand ... | 06:40 |
| thefamousnomo | as i say, tuxpaint is fine and machine in general: fine. | 06:40 |
| ogra | can you run gcompros from a terminal and look if any errors show up ? | 06:40 |
| thefamousnomo | bear with me... | 06:41 |
| thefamousnomo | a few warnings man, its in the other room... | 06:43 |
| thefamousnomo | says no audio device | 06:44 |
| ogra | hmm | 06:44 |
| thefamousnomo | gnome.canvas is deprecated | 06:44 |
| ogra | thats only a warning | 06:44 |
| thefamousnomo | ai is not running at full speed | 06:44 |
| ogra | did you change anything with the sound settings ? | 06:44 |
| thefamousnomo | gcomris.comf set to enGB-utf8 | 06:44 |
| thefamousnomo | no man, just tried to start it up! | 06:44 |

| thefamousnomo | can you explain what is going on in there? | 06:55 |
| ogra | thefamousnomo, but you dont have sound in the rest of the desktop now | 06:55 |
| thefamousnomo | sh*t! | 06:55 |
| ogra | gcompris is not using esd for sound output for whatever reason | 06:55 |
| thefamousnomo | how to fix? | 06:55 |
| mhz | ogra: xmms lets me hear just a second of a song and continues playing but with no sounds | 06:55 |
| mhz | (all of sudden) | 06:55 |
| ogra | mhz, the last time i used xmms is about 7 years ago ... | 06:56 |
| thefamousnomo | ogra, ill catch you another night my friend, one step as they say... | 06:56 |
| thefamousnomo | thanx for probs solved thus far! | 06:56 |
| mhz | ogra: well, that happens also with video and firefox | 06:56 |
| ogra | thefamousnomo, we can write a little wrapper that stops esd if you start gcompris and starts it again afterwards | 06:56 |
| ogra | mhz, did you fiddle with your sound settings somehow ? | 06:57 |
| thefamousnomo | sounds good, only done any scripting in whs(!) and php (favourite language)! | 06:57 |
| thefamousnomo | for another night, thanx again! | 06:58 |
| mhz | ogra: last thing I did was: rm -rf ~/.config ~/.xsession | 06:58 |
| mhz | ogra: they should not affect sound at all | 06:58 |
| mhz | ogra: and I rm -rf /tmp | 06:58 |
| mhz | but then I mkdir /tmp back | 06:58 |
| mhz | and chmod it correctly | 06:59 |
| ogra | heh | 06:59 |
| ogra | but you ripped off esd's pants with that ;) | 06:59 |
| mhz | ooooh | 06:59 |
| ogra | esd creates a socket in /tmp | 07:00 |
| mhz | good to know that | 07:00 |
| ogra | so if it ran while you did that, it wont find the socket anymore | 07:00 |
| mhz | eeek | 07:00 |
| mhz | and how do i get it back? | 07:00 |
| mhz | hehe, when I run 'esd' command I get bips like a modem | 07:01 |
| mhz | :D | 07:01 |
| mhz | for 3 secs | 07:01 |
| ogra | just logging out and in again should solve it | 07:01 |
| ogra | so esd stops and starts again | 07:02 |
| mhz | ogra: I have done that 3 times | 07:02 |
| ogra | no idea then ... | 07:03 |
| mhz | okis | 07:03 |
