iGotNoTimewe want one, so he can navigate all domains07:27
highvoltageiGotNoTime: i think you need to read a bit more on sudo07:34
highvoltageiGotNoTime: you can give a user sudo rights, so that he can also do some administration07:35
iGotNoTimeyes but the user will not be logging in with a terminal07:35

iReALLyGotNoTimeAnyone know how?02:36
ogra??02:36
iReALLyGotNoTimemorning :)02:36
ograhi ... what do you want to do ?02:36
iReALLyGotNoTimewe need to put a user into the root group with the same chmod access as root for a week02:37
iReALLyGotNoTimewe are moving some files around and the server has 60 + domains02:37
iReALLyGotNoTimethat's 60 passwords for ftp02:37
iReALLyGotNoTimewe want one, so he can navigate all domains02:37
iReALLyGotNoTimeso we need to SSH and adjust the user group he is in and the right or simply duplicate the root rights to him so he can use SFTP to see everything02:38
iReALLyGotNoTimethe right permissions**02:38
ograjust add the user to the admin group and he's able to use sudo02:38
iReALLyGotNoTimeWS_FTP is windows software, he will not be given an option to type SUDO02:39
iReALLyGotNoTimeit is an FTP client02:39
iReALLyGotNoTimehe is not logging in with any terminal, he is moving files02:39
ograwhy dont you use putty and sftp file transfer ? 02:39
iReALLyGotNoTimeI didn't know that it compared to the options within WS_FTP02:40
ograit has a sftp client builtin afaik ...02:40
iReALLyGotNoTimeso there is no way to the user group, he would be forced to use sudo?02:41
iReALLyGotNoTimeno way to edit?02:41
ogranope, indeed you can make a certain group own a directory and add the user to that group ...02:42
ograi was irritated by the "root" everywhere ... 02:42
ograyou dont need root/sudo for proper permission settings :)02:42
iReALLyGotNoTimeI know the risk, but he is no threat he only knows html, and it is only for file transfer.02:43
iReALLyGotNoTimeok let me ask about that then02:43
ograjust make the directorys owned by a certain group and add the user to this group ... give the group rw access to the dirs and you are done ...02:44
iReALLyGotNoTimecan I create a user with ful 0777 right on all folders but only on all folders within /var/www/vhosts/*02:44
iReALLyGotNoTimenothing higher than the vhosts directory02:44
ograyou dont need 77702:44

iGotNoTimesorry router issue :(02:58
iGotNoTimeogra I thank you for your sense of protection on the 'root' matter :)02:59
ogra:)02:59
iGotNoTimeto be honest I am very scared of anyone (including myself) using any full right access on directories higher than the /vhost02:59
iGotNoTimeI will attempt to implement your suggestion on the groups :)03:00
iGotNoTimethanks for the detailed help03:00
iGotNoTimeI knew it was a bit technical :P03:00
ograyou can also read up about wsftp and its chroot function ...03:00
iGotNoTimeI think it is somehow disabled on the host03:01
ograits a bit complicated, but guarantees you to lock in the user below /var/www03:01
iGotNoTimewe have tried that :)03:01
ograerr03:01
ograi meant wu-ftpd not ws-ftp 03:01

VegoCommand 'groups' lists which group a user is in.04:10
VegoPermissions are usually set on files, not users. 'ls -l' to see access settings of files and directories.04:11

highvoltagehi DeMoNSeEd 07:04
DeMoNSeEdi wanted to ask07:04
highvoltageshoot07:04
DeMoNSeEdlol07:04
DeMoNSeEdmight not be popular, i tried D/l flight 4 last night, both live and install, i just tried the live07:05
DeMoNSeEdit seems at least on the live, that GCompris kicks out a great deal07:05
highvoltageyes, it's a known issue, resolved with a recent update.07:05
highvoltagejust a sec...07:05
DeMoNSeEdor is that normal on the live cd, when you play the puzzle section, memory card game to be specific07:06
DeMoNSeEdi sure hope they fix it, i'm this close to getting Edubuntu into about 20 schools07:06
highvoltageyes, it has been fixed07:07
DeMoNSeEdbut Gcompris always failing (I had Gcompris probs in Breezy too) makes it hardf07:07
DeMoNSeEdk..cool07:07
DeMoNSeEdapart from that i might actually pull it off...i hopw07:07
highvoltageit's bug number 3389807:07
DeMoNSeEddarn, sorry bout typos07:08
highvoltage(if you look it up on launchpad.net)07:08
DeMoNSeEdi had filed a bug report too, i was told to07:08
highvoltagewhat is your bug number?07:08
DeMoNSeEdi didn't mark it  down, didn't realize i was supposed to07:08
DeMoNSeEdno big thing07:09
highvoltageno problem07:09
DeMoNSeEdif we can get our duckies in a row, this could really be somethin07:09
ograDeMoNSeEd, you had problems with gcompris in breezy ? 07:09
ograhighvoltage, Accepted ltsp 0.83 (source)07:10
ograChanges: 07:10
ogra ltsp (0.83) dapper; urgency=low07:10
ogra .07:10
ogra   * fix typo in ltsp-server description07:10
ogra   * fix indentation in ltsp-client.init07:10
ogra   * fix indentation error in X_MODE code of ltsp-client-setup07:10
ogra   * remove the unused configure_sound call in the ltsp-client-setup init script,07:10
ogra     thats handled in ltsp-client since some time07:11
ogra   * fixed ssh_known_hosts creation to not depend on ssh-keyscan07:11
ograso now the sshkeys should be there after install ...07:11
highvoltageyay! :)07:11
ograwe're ready for flight 5 once thats built :)07:11
ograall isos have sane sizes, so if nobody breaks something from the ubuntu side, we're safe07:11
DeMoNSeEdi was talking to a kindergarten, teacher  last night about GCompris.................yes, i did, it comes up all right, but the puzzle sedtion games/the rubik's cube section, the memory card game, to be specific, if you made a match, the whole thing would kick out, i wasn't the only one, i ran into others with same prob07:12
highvoltagegreat. i'll rsync as soon as it's ready and start testing the new flight the next day.07:12
ograDeMoNSeEd, in breezy ? 07:12
DeMoNSeEdyes07:12
DeMoNSeEdin Breezy07:12
ograi know there were probs in the beginning of the dapper cycle, but in breezy it worked fine in my tests07:13
DeMoNSeEdi tried it on 5 different boxes, always same thing07:13
=== Hannes___ [i=hannes@dna254-92.satp.customers.dnainternet.fi] has joined #edubuntu
ograluckily we have yvesC here from time to time, he's one of the upstream developers ... so please file bugs if you discover anything in dapper, so we can fix it before release07:13
DeMoNSeEdi filed it, mostly cause i was totally ignored, then rudely told to get lost in ubuntu room when i persisted asking about the prob07:14
ograDeMoNSeEd, if you have a edubuntu specific bug (i.e. edu software or ltsp stuff) assign it to me ...07:15
ograogra@ubuntu.com ...07:16
DeMoNSeEdif i remember correctly ogra , i seem to remember is had something to do with something called gnomecanvas07:16
DeMoNSeEdi might be wrong, but that seens to be what i remember seeing as a prob, when i tried to bring it up via term07:16
ograwe'll unlikely fix it in breezy ... but its important to get all errors for dapper as long as we can solve them07:17
DeMoNSeEdeither was, GCompris looked great, till you player the memory card matching game, when 2 cards matched, the whole suite would die07:17
highvoltageogra: i know this might be a bit much to ask, but i would just like to know, is it likely that there'll be either language or session buttons in ldm for dapper?07:19
DeMoNSeEdtell me bout it, when it did that card die thing it was when i was showing it to a school rep, i looked so stu*pd, as it kept doing it, he told me to come back when the program works, i felt so ....07:19
ograhighvoltage, we already talked about that ...07:19
DeMoNSeEdok ogra , i'll remember to assign to you07:20
highvoltageogra: yes, we have. sorry...07:20
ograDeMoNSeEd, thanks, thats the way to get it fixed ;)07:20
DeMoNSeEdyou might tell ubuntu room proper , that you all are on same side though07:20
ograthey should know that ...07:21
DeMoNSeEdso should i wait till Dapper goes gold before i attempt another demo07:25
DeMoNSeEdor you think flight 5 will be ok07:25
highvoltageogra: gtg. sorry for asking you twice about that ldm question. i loose track of certain issues sometimes (should install a local request tracker or something :) )07:29
highvoltagegoodnight, thanks for all your hard work.07:29

iGotNoTimeI mean is something worth learning or a waste of time just for my daughter's computer alone?08:21
ograwhat kind of machine is that ? 08:22
iGotNoTimejust a 900Mhz intel08:22
iGotNoTimeold computer I never used I gave to my girls08:22
ogramemory and HD ?08:22
iGotNoTimeboth lol... seriously I think 10GB and 51208:23
ogra(900 MHz is fine for a standalone install)08:23
ograthats fine for a standalone workstation system ...08:23
iGotNoTimeyes, but that is what I mean, is the the better route for a single client?08:23
iGotNoTimeis that the better route***08:23
ograyou only need to maintain one machine if you use it as thin client08:24
iGotNoTimealot of time would go into setting up a thin client?08:24
ograsee http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes 08:24
iGotNoTimeI kinda wanna try, but don't wanna bite off more than I can chew08:24
iGotNoTimeespecially since from CD it is only 30 minutes to running08:25
ograand the subpage: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPServerSetup08:25
iGotNoTimeI am worried it coudl take me days LOL08:25
iGotNoTimeyes that is the page I am on now08:25
iGotNoTimethat is why I came in here , just to get some personal opinions on the matter :)08:25
ograif you used the default install of edubuntu, everything is preconfigured apart from the dhcp config08:25
ograjust adjust the network settings, restart dhcpd and you are done08:26
iGotNoTime In /etc/dnsmasq.conf ?08:26
ogra+(network settings in the config file)08:26
ogranope, see the wikipage08:26
iGotNoTimesounds easy enough to play with :)08:26
ograyou can mostly copy and paste the commands from there08:26
iGotNoTimethanks :)08:27
