benjamindaines Hello, I'm having some trouble getting my Mac to connect to an SMB share on my ubuntu box.  I type in the IP address and it brings up the window to type in the Workgroup, Name, and PassWord (I enter in my username and password and click OK) then I gives me an error saying that the user name or password is incorrect.  I have tried many times so I know it's not me typeing badly.  Any ideas?  --Much Thanks03:46
benjamindainesHere are the steps I have taken in setting up the SMB share:03:47
benjamindainesFirst I right click the folder and select share folder, then the window comes up and I select SMB, in the name feild I type "Linux", I leave the comment feild blank and leave the read only box and the allow browsing folder unchecked, then I click "Generate windows sharing settings", for host / description I leave what comes up and type Linx into the Doman / Workgroup blank, I leave it as do not use WINS server and 03:47
benjamindainesclick out of both windows03:47

iGotNoTimeIs Edubuntu slower in development than Ubuntu in any ways?04:47
dswilliai couldnt tell you, just found this tonight04:56
iGotNoTimeI have had it on for a week and it is sexy04:58
iGotNoTimebut I have only used Xandros as comparison04:58
dswilliaare you using the ltsp option?05:08
iGotNoTimenegative05:21
iGotNoTimesorry for delay digging deep into google for answers05:21
iGotNoTimeI am toying with the idea for my kids' computer though05:22
dswilliayeah i am downloading the live cd now, I have a 3 year old I would like to test it05:29
iGotNoTimeyes very safe!05:32
iGotNoTimeI have live cd for my kids and they use a USB drive for their personal files and bookmarks05:32
iGotNoTimeworks wonderfully05:32
iGotNoTimeI just wish there was a linux for kids, preloaded with TONS of games and educational apps05:33
iGotNoTimeno desktop, just a nice webpage like interface05:34
iGotNoTimeHell I would and I am certain that many others would be willing to even pay a donation rate for something that simple on a live disc. Then even single computer homes would have no fear in letting the kids play05:35
iGotNoTimeit is sad that there is not much profit in the kids computing or we would certainly have many options along that route05:36
dswilliayeah that would be wonderful05:41

iGotNoTimein Edubuntu is installing KDE as simple as the marking the package for installation via Synaptic?06:17
iGotNoTimeor are there a bunch of libraries and compiling needed?06:17
highvoltagemorning iGotNoTime 06:18
highvoltageyep, it's pretty easy.06:18
highvoltageno compiling needed.06:18
iGotNoTimewow06:18
iGotNoTimewho is this Synaptic guy?06:18
iGotNoTimehe is smart :)06:19
highvoltagehe's the middle man between you, apt and dpkg06:19
highvoltagedpkg does most of the hard work. apt does a lot of the automation. Synaptic is your agent :)06:19
iGotNoTimeI like him, almost too much06:19
highvoltageyeah, apt and dpkg are really nice guys too06:20
iGotNoTimedoesn't he kind of spit in the face of the 'do it yourself' motto that linux has alway mainatined so well though?06:20
highvoltageit just takes a bit longer to get to know them.06:20
highvoltagei don't know if that's a real linux motto though, some people are just a bit extreme.06:20
iGotNoTimeI mean it is as easy (maybe easier) than Microsoft now06:21
highvoltageDYI stuff tends to be hacky sometimes.06:21
highvoltagenot that there's something wronge with hacky, but when you work on big production systems, a good, automated process is always better than when everyone does their own thing.06:21
highvoltageyes, it is easier than with installing software on windows.06:21
iGotNoTimetechnical question... I was very upset that my drive were unmounted and I did nothing, then I remembered that I did allow it to do an automatic update, could that have caused the drives to unmount?06:22
highvoltageMS is working on MSI to get it as good as APT, but it will never be the same.06:22
iGotNoTimeAPT is awesome, one of my favorite thing in Linux06:22
highvoltagemostly because of the licensing of most windows software06:23
highvoltageyep.06:23
iGotNoTimesee, they have hindered themselves in so many ways it is unrepairable06:23
iGotNoTimeall in the name of money06:23
iGotNoTimesealed their own fate in many ways06:23
highvoltagei think they can fix windows, but it wouldn't justify the cost.06:23
iGotNoTimeI think it is funny to count all the distros in comparison06:24
highvoltagethey've explained before that they wouldn't add a feature or fix a bug unless it will directly bring in money.06:24
highvoltagebut now we're going off-topix06:24
iGotNoTimeyes sorry :)06:24
iGotNoTimeare gdesklets nearly dead?06:24
iGotNoTimeI have a couple but most will not work because I have read that the newer gdesklets no longer work with sensors06:25
iGotNoTimemost of mine are sensor based, and giving errors upon load06:25
iGotNoTimewith Edubuntu do you have a suggestion for a few widgets?06:26
iGotNoTimea suggestion for an engine I mean06:26
highvoltagei don't know, i use gdesklets now and again06:28
iGotNoTimeand lastly the Wiki has 8658 pages but not one mention of the word 'donate', where can we donate to the fine project?06:28
highvoltagesuperkaramba is big on KDE, it seems06:28
iGotNoTimesuperkaramba is again another simple click in Synaptic you suppose?06:29
highvoltageyep :)06:29
iGotNoTimeand donation?06:29
highvoltagehere's one of my screenshots with gdesklets: http://jonathancarter.co.za/photies/screenshots/25MAR0506:30
highvoltagehere's another: http://jonathancarter.co.za/photies/screenshots/12AUG0506:30
iGotNoTimesexy06:30
iGotNoTimeAll Gdesklets only?06:31
highvoltageyep06:31
iGotNoTimecan they be configured to only show on one desktop?06:31
highvoltagei don't think so06:32
highvoltagenot sure.06:32
iGotNoTimeok :)06:32
highvoltageat the moment my desktop is very clean: http://jonathancarter.co.za/photies/screenshots/gartublu06:32
iGotNoTimeYes I prefer mine clean like that usually, I am really just looking for a single widget LOL06:33
iGotNoTimesounds kinda dumb I know06:33
highvoltagenothing wrong with toying around, i think06:34

pips1ogra, ping!10:38
pips1highvoltage, hi10:38
ograpips1, pong10:38
pips1hey, ogra :-)10:38
pips1I downloaded flight5 and want to test it10:38
ogracool :)10:38
pips1however, last time i tried with flight4 I failed miserably, so I was hoping I could run some questions by you, as I go along10:39
ograsure10:39
highvoltagehi pips1 10:39
ogrado you want to test the workstation again ? it should be relatively flawless10:39
pips1first, let me tell you what went wrong: I don't have internet connection, and the keymap is 'us' insted of swiss-german...10:40
pips1no, I want to test a server setup10:40
pips1I have two nics10:40
pips1the mainboard nic, and an older pci nic10:40
pips1I'm at home, with a adsl hardware router... 10:40
pips1I think I did some mistakes during setup... ie. i didn't enter the right values for gateway, proxy and whatnot10:41
ograyou dont need two nics to test the server :)10:42
ograwe only configure one during install anyway :)10:42
pips1first question: what nic should I use for the internet connection, the slower 100 or the faster Gigabit-nic?10:42
pips1oh10:42
ograthere is no german langpack on the CD currently ... you either need network or install the langpacks with the language selector afterwards10:43
ogra(which also requires network)10:43
pips1I see, so this affects the keyboard map, too, then10:43
ograwe're out of space on the CD10:43
pips1ic10:43
ogradid you select it in the installer ? 10:43
pips1so basically, if I manage to get network, I'll be fine10:43
=== mode/#edubuntu [+o highvoltage] by ChanServ
ograyou should have the right map during install and in X afterwards10:44
ograyep10:44
pips1I decided to test the new options on the very first screen, ie F5 keymap...10:44
ograyep10:45
pips1since that feature is new, i decided to test it :-)10:45
ograit should give you the right keymap in the installer10:45
pips1I don't remember if it was the right keymap during installer, since i didn't use any umlauts, etc. but the keymap is definitely wrong on the desktop...10:46
pips1well and in the console10:46
pips1I had problems with the keymap during the breezy beta testing too, filed a bug report, did lots of interactive debugging with a gnome guy (svu) and finally a fix went in, before the breezy release :-)10:47
pips1but now, I get the same prob again, even worse... I can't even switch kaymap layout with the gnome panel selector anymore :-/10:47
pips1what is that gnome settings utility called again?10:48
ograyou need to use the language selector 10:48
ograand install the missing langpack10:48
pips1oh10:48
pips1ok10:49
pips1ic10:49
pips1ok, let me try a new install with flight5 and see that I get the internet network access working10:49
ogralanguage-support-gnome-de or something like that has the keymaps10:49
pips1ah10:50
pips1ok, should i take out the second nic, since it's not configured during install? question: how do I get internet access if I only have 1 nic?10:51
ograset it to an ip from your lan10:51
ograand use the right data ...10:51
pips1right... my adsl-router has built-in dhcp, so how do I set a right ip?10:52
ograyou know your ip range, dont you ? 10:53
pips1nope10:53
=== pips1 blusing
=== pips1 blushing
highvoltage:)10:54
ograbut youre online currently :) just look it up ... add +1 in the end and thats it :)10:54
pips1oh10:54
pips1ok10:54
ograsorry, i'm a bit distracted by the dapper delay meeting currently running ...10:55
pips1ah, ok10:55
pips1I'm amazed how good you developers are at multi-tasking, anyway :-)10:55
ograheh, scrollback is a big advantage you dont have in RL :)10:56
pips1hehe10:56
highvoltageogra: i scroll back in real life. it's real annoying to everyone else though :)10:57
ograheh10:57
pips1sorry, I still don't quite understand how I will be able to do a server setup with internet access if I only use one nic... one nic should connect to my router and the other should connect to a switch where I will plug the thin clients into, no?10:57
ograyes10:58
pips1ok, so I will use both nics, then :-)10:58
ograbut since we assume a standalone server without internet access, only the first nic is set up10:59
ograand it works fine without a second one, even as server :)10:59
pips1should I get some system info from the running flight4 setup, before I do the flight5 install, like getting some info on the nics or something?10:59
ograadditionally you cant run two dhcp servers in the same net ...10:59
pips1oh10:59
ogra(you can but thats very high level stuff)10:59
pips1the problem is, if I don't have internet access for the server, I won't be able to install all those language packs, etc11:00
pips1so how do I best proceed?11:01
spaceyogra: i'm looking for dspesd, it suppose to be part of esound but can't find it in any package11:02
ograyou give a fixed ip that matches your LAN settings and use the dsl modem ip as gateway ...11:02
spaceyogra: I need it (and probably need to patch esound as well) to have proper sound on the thinclients with wine applications.11:02
ograspacey, esound-clients i think ... but beware it will crash your firefox11:02
spaceywhy is that?11:02
ograbecause new firefox cant use LD_PRELOAD mechanisms anymore11:03
spaceyephipany won't have that problem i hope?11:03
highvoltagehi JaneW. very busy in #ubuntu-meeting?11:03
spaceythinking about switching away from firefox anyway on the terminal server. 11:03
spaceyseems to it has some printing bug11:04
spaceywhen i print from gnome application it works fine11:04
spaceybut some users print a job and it gets send to the printer and cups doesn't process any jobs anymore11:04
spaceyand everytime they try to print a webpage11:05
JaneWhighvoltage: yup, rather11:05
JaneWhighvoltage: need something?11:05
spaceybut still figuring that out for sure, have cups on debug now11:05
pips1ogra, how do i find out the dsl modem gateway ip?11:05
highvoltageJaneW: nothing urgent, can wait til later11:06
JaneWhighvoltage: great, thanks11:06
JaneWhighvoltage: 30 mins or so, or till meeting is over...11:06
pips1ogra, does the dsl modem just have *one* ip, that I can use as a gateway for my edubuntu server? (there is an ip mentioned in the dsl router handbook that is used to configure the routher via a web form)11:07
ograyep, that should be the same ip11:07
pips1ok11:07
pips1if i do an ifconfig on my laptop I get 192.168.0.2 , so you say I should use e.g. 192.168.0.3 as my server ip?11:08
pips1ogra, (my laptop is getting it's ip from the router's dhcp, of course)11:10
ograyep11:11
ograand i bet 192.168.0.1 as gateway11:11
pips1in the handbook of the dsl routher it says t 192.168.1.111:12
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu

ogra(type route)11:14
pips1ah, thanks11:14
pips1indeed, there it reads 192.168.0.111:14
pips1but then again, something seems wrong with that, ie. my internet access on the laptop seems very slow, as if it is re-routing every time I access a web page, or do any internet access, for that matter...11:15
=== ealden [n=ealden@203.76.213.221] has joined #edubuntu

juliuxogra, http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=236937011:17
juliuxogra, if we want we get from igel thinclients to test if they runs with edubuntu11:18

pips1ogra, is there any specific hardware or network information you recommend I should get, before I do the flight5 installation?11:55
pips1what should I use for name server and proxy (I assume I don't have a proxy, anyway)?11:56
ogradont use one then ....11:57
ogragrep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf 11:58
ogra^^^ on your lappie11:58

pips1(I'll try the swiss-german keymap setting in F5 and watch out whether that works during install)12:00
ograyou can switch to console 2 and test it ;)12:01
ogra(during install)12:01
=== pips1 ripps out the second nic, since it's not needed.
pips1ok, thanks for the tip12:01
ograjust make sure to switch off dhcp on the router if you want to test ltsp ...12:01
ograelse you'll get a mess12:02
pips1oh, darn, that might be a problem, since I don't seem to remember the router's passw just now... grumble...12:02

ograyour feedback as well :)05:13

ogracrimsun, isa05:13
alistairyup... the headmaster can hear me ok. Oooops05:14
crimsunsnd-cs4236 in lts.conf may have been needed (along with isapnp=0 and the host of other module params)05:14

crimsunalistair: ok. I just read the edubuntu list a few minutes ago05:14
ogracrimsun, the MODULE= option is untested yet ...05:14
ograso it might also be my fault it didnt work ... i'll do some testing before release (if i find an isa card in my big box)05:15

highvoltageogra: do you currently get *any* sleep? :)05:25
ograsure ... between 5 and 5:30 am ususally :P05:25
highvoltagegeez05:26
ograif we delay, i'll have plenty of time to do very relaxed bug triage :)05:26
highvoltageyes.05:26
highvoltagei think it's natural for people to have a mixed feeling about the delay.05:27
highvoltagein one way, people are hungry for dapper, on the other hand, people also want a top-quality distribution.05:27
ograyeah, i'm not really happy about it, since we are so well on schedule this time05:27
highvoltagei also don't like the break in pattern, ie, the .04, .10, 04, .10 pattern. but ah well, that's how things go.05:28
highvoltagethe delay will mean at least that we'll be able to put in a better edubuntu into our tuxlabs, which i'm happy about, on the other hand.05:28
highvoltageit also gives me a better chance to test things.05:29
ograyep05:29
highvoltagewhen we put Ubuntu into the tuxlabs, i had less than a day to test it.05:29
highvoltageit meant fixing a *lot* of things afterwards, especially considering that i only had about a week to automate the installation, including ltsp, and a bunch of other stuff.05:30
ograif the freeze dates get postponed as well, that would give us a chance to have at least proper packages for LDA ... 05:30
ogra(even if not integrated, it would make everything easier)05:30
highvoltageedubuntu provides a chance to make the tuxlabs installations less hacky, and very smooth and clean, technically speaking.05:30
highvoltagewhat is LDA again?05:31
ogralocal device access05:31
highvoltageOOH!05:31

ograltspfs and ltspfsd are pretty outdated in the archive ... lbus isnt packaged at all05:31

ogra(and we wont use lbus in our implementation)05:31
ograhighvoltage, dont get me wrong you still have to set up the scripts yourself ...05:32
highvoltagewould you use ltspfs in the ubuntu implementation?05:32
highvoltagewell, just some more steps toward LDA would already be nice, even if it takes some manual work.05:32

ograthe ltspfs variant requires a lot of changes06:17
highvoltagei also want to use unionfs in the chroot for diskless fat clients.06:17
highvoltageltspfs looks a bit hacky, to be honest.06:17
ograthe ltfpfs and ltspfsd programs are fine ...06:18
ograi dont like the double effort thats gone into lbus instead of enhancing dbus06:18
ograwe already have a bus system, there is no need for a second one 06:18
highvoltagei don't understand much about the bus system, something i'll have to do more reading on.06:20
highvoltageoh yes, on the fat clients, i want to use unionfs with a ramdisk and the ro / so that when files change on the thin client, they get changed in the unionfs ramdisk part.06:20
highvoltagei'm going to start writing ideas and put them together, with some help from other interested people we might have a diskless fat client set-up for dapper+1?06:21
ograthe server needs notification if y device is plugged in, thats what dbus is used for06:22
ogras/y/a06:22
highvoltagehere's my first stab at writing something: http://www.jonathancarter.co.za/index.py?diskless-fat (very rough still)06:22
ereI have tried LTSP in 6.04. The thin client boots, but when I try to log in the screen becomes black for a moment, the mouse cursor (x) appears, and I get GDM back. I also have tried to log on in the console and get a invalid user message. Any suggestons for how to debug the problem?06:22
highvoltageah, ok.06:22
ograere, did you install from flight 4 ? 06:22
ograor did you change the ip since you installed ? 06:22
highvoltageere: run sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys from command line06:22
ograif so, run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys 06:23
ogra:)06:23
highvoltage:)06:23
ereogra: nope, it is flight 5  (regular ubuntu)06:23
ograah, not edubuntu then 06:23
erehighvoltage: well, I have tried that, and multiple times06:23
ograere, sshd is running ? 06:23
highvoltageere: and the ip address question that ogra asked about?06:23
erehighvoltage: no, I have not changed it. the box have two network interfaces. One where the thin client is attached, and one connected to the rest of the network06:24
erein /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/known_hosts the ip of both interfaces are stored06:25
ografine then 06:25
ograso is your sshd running on the server ?06:25
ereand ssh is running as I manage the server over ssh :)06:25
ografine as well 06:25
ograthe user you try can log in via ssh ?06:26
ogra(in non ltsp)06:26
ere(unfortunately the box is a work and I'm home, I ask now because a firewall that blocks irc at work))06:26
ereI think so, I tried to log on with my regular username06:26
ereby the way, how is edubuntu different from ubuntu with respect to LTSP?06:27
highvoltageere: is someone trying to log in on the otherside? or are you logging in over the internet?06:27
ograthe installer sets up and installs ltsp by default06:27
erehighvoltage: the setup is very simple. I have one thin client attached to one interface of the server. The other interface is attached to the same network segment as my workstation. I administer the ltsp server over a ssh connection. 06:28
erethin client boots by IXP (works well)06:28
ograIXP ?06:28
ereerrr... PXE06:28
ograyou mean PXE =06:28
ograah :)06:28
eretoo many acronyms06:29
ograheh, yes06:29
ograwhat you can do for debugging is to set a root pw in the client chroot ...06:29
ograsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd 06:29
ograthen log in on tty1 on the client and tail -f /var/log/ldm.log to see what happens during ldm login06:30
ograalso check the ~/.xsession-errors file of the user 06:30
highvoltageogra: our help desk in tuxlabs often spend huge amounts of time checking with educators whether services are running on the server (such as sshd in our example right here now, or dhcpd)06:30
highvoltageogra: so i've integrated this in our troubleshooter: http://www.jonathancarter.co.za/projects/xola/index.py?stats06:31
ograhighvoltage, LTSPManager will have a services overview06:31
highvoltageogra: it uses nmap -p 67-67 localhost, for example, to get that06:31
highvoltageogra: ok, great, that was what i was getting at :)06:31
highvoltageogra: i was about to ask how we can do that without nmap to get it into there06:31
ograjust a grep through px will suffice06:32
ograerr ps06:32
ereogra: thanks, I will try that tomorrow06:32
highvoltageah, of course :)06:33
highvoltageogra: are there people specifically testing LTSP on Ubuntu? do you think it's needed that i do an ubuntu flight 5 installation too and play with the ubuntu ltsp a bit too, to find some problems we might have there?06:33
ograhighvoltage, its identical :) 06:34
ograbut indeed you can test it 06:34
highvoltagewill do.06:35
=== ogra has days where he does ltsp-build-client 20 times a day ...
highvoltagegeez! most of the packages are probably available locally, so it probably goes fast?06:37
highvoltagecan't you just do an apt-get dist-upgrade in the chroot? or do you specifically check that it builds fine from scratch?06:38

ereI hope I manage to get LTSP working well. I will use it just with a couple of clients first to test if the users think it is a good enough solution. If, I will probably implement at least 20 LTSP clients (maybe edubunty) in one of the schools I'm responsible of06:39
