[04:03] yes [04:04] sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop [04:04] sudo apt-get install edubuntu-server [04:04] sudo apt-get install edubuntu-artwork [04:04] well there are a couple of packages but edubuntu-desktop would do for desktop use :) [04:05] where do i apt-get from (the edubuntu cd?) [04:05] no from the network [04:05] they're all in main [04:06] how? (1st day on linux....);) [04:06] ahhh [04:06] open up synaptic [04:06] ok [04:06] opened [04:06] search for "edubuntu" [04:07] it should give you results [04:07] then just select edubuntu-desktop [04:07] the click apply [04:09] u rock! -- some reason that didnt work putting kubuntu over ubuntu [04:09] hmm [04:09] kubuntu-desktop [04:09] :) [04:09] yep it wasnt there [04:10] oh?

[04:12] nahhh [04:13] edubuntu-desktop installs the edubuntu package but still uses ubuntu core components [04:13] b/c thats what i do w/ kubuntu [04:13] login and select it [04:13] well, select it and login [04:13] edubuntu is stll gnome [04:13] with just different artwork [04:14] oh -- will it overide my ubuntu? [04:14] edubuntu is still ubuntu [04:14] both use gnome [04:15] when you log into gnome again, you'll see some added applications [04:15] like the kdedu apps [04:15] but this will have the education KDE too;ls [04:15] right [04:15] yeah [04:15] gcompris, tuxmath, etc. [04:15] will i login to ubuntu or gnome [04:15] its the same [04:15] there's no ubuntu login [04:15] its either gnome or another DE installed [04:16] oh right [04:16] it says Last -- not ubuntu [04:16] got confused [04:16] ever use linspire?

[09:59] i just installed edubuntu... i did not promt me for the root pass. what is the deafult root pass? [10:02] Bart11: there's not a root password [10:03] Bart11: the first user you created is sudo-root [10:03] so you can type "sudo command" to excecute something as root [10:03] if you want a root shell, type "sudo -s" [10:03] it will then prompt you for your password [10:03] ok... [10:04] ill try that now [10:06] thanx... how can i change the root pass? sorry i'm a noob.. just installed this to get my daughter to play with gcompris [10:08] don't enable root === Kaiser_Away is now known as Kamping_kaiser [10:10] Bart11: Kamping_kaiser is right, it's best not to enable root, edubuntu is just not designed that way :) [10:10] using sudo you can do everything you can with root [10:10] -but [10:10] to answer your question, if you really, really want a root account, you can do a "sudo passwd root", but don't do that! [10:11] y? [10:11] some things break [10:11] oh ok [10:11] for instance, if you boot into the rescue mode, it's supposed to drop you into a root shell [10:11] 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 [10:12] ah ok... thanx [10:12] that's one problem we've had with a school before [10:12] but generally it's always good to use a system as it is intended to be used :) [10:13] 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? [10:16] i'd like to atleast have a resolution of 1024x768 [10:20] Bart11: you have to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:20] that should be able to fix it === signifer123 [n=michael@pool-141-157-88-80.balt.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu [10:22] ill have to run that in sudo root in a terminal right? [10:23] yeh [10:23] you have to run sudo in a terminal [10:23] ok.. i'll do that now. [10:25] Bart11, https://wiki.edubuntu.org/RootSudo [10:25] :) [10:35] 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 ... === irvin [n=irvin@ubuntu/member/irvin] has joined #edubuntu === signifer123 [n=michael@pool-141-157-88-80.balt.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu [10:48] Is there any certain amount of hard disk space that we should have per account with edubuntu? [10:48] no...not really... [10:50] but you can limit the size of a users file qith the quota tool [10:50] with* [10:51] We're gonna have 1 server, 10 nodes, 50 accounts, and a RAID array of 8 18 Gb drives.... [10:52] Do we have enough space? [10:52] for storing student files? [10:52] Yes. [10:52] just documents and other simple things or larger things like raw graphics [10:52] ? [10:53] actually nvm [10:53] thats plenty of space [10:53] Some image editing, documents, Newsletter files, homework, etc.... [10:53] thats nearly 3 gigs per student [10:54] its fine [10:54] I'm a noob, I thoght RAIDS were redundant. [10:54] what kind of RAID you have? [10:54] I dunno. [10:55] I know that it's external. [10:56] i don't now much about raids..either... [10:56] so you really have 1.5 gigs per student since the other 1.5 is backup [10:57] I'm studying up now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID [10:57] :) [11:03] so having a raid doesn't tell you much, since theres like 12 types :-P [11:06] kamping_kaiser: does edubunto have a gui for setting up the xserver like mandrake and suse? [11:06] nope [11:06] not a very pretty one [11:06] Bart11: not in the way you think [11:06] dpkg is the gui :) [11:06] its done fully automatic ... normally you dont need to touch the X config at all [11:06] yeah ^^ [11:07] raed this as in 99.5% you wont touch it ... [11:08] 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] taht [11:08] that [11:08] on a thin client ? [11:08] or do you use the workstation version ... [11:09] i installed the workstation, its just for my kid [11:09] then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:09] the values in there are the detected ones, so just hit enter until you come to the mode selection [11:09] hit enter till the end where you select the dispaly mode :) [11:09] aww... [11:09] beat me [11:10] i did and now my xserver wont work. i just formatted my hd and reinstalling now [11:10] ohh....kinda weird... [11:11] ogra: does adding them to xorg.conf actually work? [11:11] yeah, i tried mandrake 9 on that pc and i had no problem with the settings anfter install. [11:12] signifer123, yes, but you have to do some tweaks if you want to be able to use dpkg then ... [11:12] ok. [11:13] see you guys later in the meeting [11:13] ciao [11:13] cya [11:14] The meeting will be in this channel? [11:14] nope [11:14] in #ubuntu-meeting [11:14] does ubuntu have some problems with built-in video cards by via? [11:15] i think it jsut underestimates alot of cards...it topped mine off at 1024x768 [11:18] i tihnk it sticks all built ins at 640x480 though [11:19] ubunto uses xorg, not xfree86? [11:19] yeah... [11:20] built ins you probably have to put aside system memory, so it gets a low res (well, there's my theory to start with) [11:21] 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? [11:22] MEETING: 08 Feb at 12:00 UTC [11:23] What is UTC [11:23] ? [11:23] TOZII, date -u [11:25] TOZII, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utc [11:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time [11:26] lol! [11:26] thanx. [11:26] np [11:26] Bart11: maybe. it's probably not setting aside enough memory [11:27] ok === Kamping_kaiser is now known as Kamping_Kaiser [11:28] how do you set up grub so that it sets my other os to be the default? it is the pc on my mums table... hehhe === signifer123 [n=michael@pool-141-157-88-80.balt.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu [11:28] can i set it up so it automatically login?

[11:31] System>Admin>Login Screen [11:31] then chekc automatic login on the first page [11:32] and choose the user [11:32] check* [11:32] and for the other os as defualt [11:32] /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:32] back that up [11:32] thne in there there will be something like [11:33] color white/blue black/light-gray [11:33] default 1 [11:33] timeout 10 [11:33] change the default [11:33] to the list number of the OS you want it to boot to [11:34] ok thanx [11:34] TOZ you cna set the resultion in xorg.conf [11:34] it jsut won't work if it over guesses your monitor [11:35] lol!

BTW does the website seem slow to you ? [01:16] mhz: a book ? [01:16] mhz: I like books. they still work in power outages :) [01:20] mhz: TheOpenCd - that's the one with OSS apps for Windows right ?\ [01:21] yuyp [01:23] mhz: cool. I'm remastering Windows cd's now. putting on services packs, hotfixes, new drivers, and a selection of OSS apps [01:23] mhz: If I knew how, I'd also add ubuntu to it and put it on dvd [01:24] ohhh [01:24] why? [01:24] mhz: need it for the customers. I find it funny that I know more about re,atering windows cd's then ubuntu ones [01:25] mhz: besides, I can fit all Win2K,XP,3K on 1 cd [01:25] lol [01:26] mhz: I kid you not !!! they are almost identical. all you need to do is hard link the files that are identical [01:26] oooohhhh [01:28] 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] mhz: and when I figure out how to add ubuntu, I can literally show them there is almost no difference === dsa [n=dsaa@210.213.92.80] has joined #edubuntu === ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089D017.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu === Yagisan wishes we had a live ltsp version of ubuntu/edubuntu [01:52] just boot one system up as the server, then boot the clients from the net [01:52] Yagisan, try the performance on a liveCD [01:53] (you can install it after boot) [01:54] I just want something to demo to customers on their systems. [01:56] I've been trying to push Windows -> Ubuntu migrations lately, but I find a lot of inertia. A systemwide wine install might help get some more converts - so they can still run their expensive not-yet-replaceable-by-ubuntu app === TOZTWO [i=TOZTWO@dialup-4.253.66.54.Dial1.Dallas1.Level3.net] has joined #edubuntu [02:01] Yagisan: how much could you afford for a laptop? === hno73 [n=henrik@henrik.gotadsl.co.uk] has left #edubuntu [] [02:03] mhz: right now, nothing.

[02:26] beastie_, yo [02:27] mhz, i'm really screaming for translations now... [02:27] does edubuntu login authentication via ldap server ? [02:27] anything outside the current toolchain can be hard for translations [02:29] does it support pam_ldap ? [02:36] jsgotangco: sorry, could you rephrase? [02:36] beastie_: no idea... but...ig gnulinux supports it... then yes, whyt not? [02:37] OR, you mean LTSP? [02:37] not ltsp..just authenticate via ldap service [02:46] jsgotangco: sorry, could you rephrase? [02:47] I believe beastie_ means if edubuntu can be configured as an LDAP directory server [02:48] mhz, doing things in docbook makes it easier for us to create translation templates based the gnome toolchain [02:48] sure, slapd is in universe pam_ldap should be supported [02:48] but you need to configure it manually [02:49] zakame: oh, then my answer was 'correct' considering the typos ;) [02:49] we dont focus beyond a single classroom server yet ... so there is no need for ldap [02:49] jsgotangco: oh, i guess you are right [02:50] it will be available with a default setup once we grow to school size [02:50] mhz: well that could be a bug :) [02:50] ogra, would an am64 build work fine for now? === jsgotangco about to download [02:50] jsgotangco: and one of my 1st to do's once I have collected the info I need for edubuntu book is to learn docbook (though I had high hopes of using Moin platform :( ) [02:50] jsgotangco, no idea i didnt test CDs since 2 weeks ... [02:51] zakame: ;p [02:51] cheers =) [02:51] jsgotangco, but if you download the iso now, you can very quick rsync it later ;) [02:51] ok [02:51] thanks mhz... i will try edubuntu.. talk to you later.. [02:51] (for me it takes <20min for a daily) [02:51] beastie_: hehe, i used ldap once.... long ago [02:52] mine takes longer but tolerable < 40min [02:52] I hardly remember the set up [02:56] mhz, do you know this? http://www.lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/ === mhz tabbing after getting rid of a stupid punk in #xfce that has sent me to RTFM with emphasis [02:58] im going to rest my eyes first and just come back in 2 hours [02:58] brb [02:59] nap well [03:00] jsgotangco: nice tip, I'll read about it.
