| pygi | you know I am going to do the implementation of SCP, right? :) | 12:06 |
|---|---|---|
| pygi | but yes, ogra wrote the initial implementation which exists now | 12:06 |
| ark__ | No. I did not know that. I thought ogra was the man | 12:07 |
| pygi | ogra wrote initial implementation which currently exists | 12:07 |
| ark__ | Well I'm talking to the right guy after all. That's great. | 12:08 |
| ark__ | Nice to meet you Mario | 12:08 |
| pygi | Same :) | 12:08 |
| pygi | bluekuja, you alive? :) | 12:09 |
| bluekuja | yep ubuntu-it-meeting | 12:09 |
| bluekuja | i was trying to add a packaging section | 12:09 |
| bluekuja | into the forum | 12:09 |
| bluekuja | e | 12:09 |
| pygi | ah, meeting :P | 12:10 |
| pygi | oki then :) | 12:10 |
| pygi | ark__, just a sec, lemme find something :) | 12:10 |
| ark__ | If you have any detailed questions I prefer talking on the phone. I have free calling in North America so I don't mind calling. | 12:10 |
| pygi | ark__, and I am in Europe :P | 12:12 |
| ark__ | darn | 12:12 |
| pygi | ark__, We have to find a good way to implement the side of the client in a non intrusive way | 12:12 |
| pygi | Currently this means some very intrusive changes to x11vnc, which must conform to debian policy, | 12:12 |
| pygi | and the package must work as it did before the change if not used in ltsp. | 12:12 |
| ark__ | What do you mean "side of the client" | 12:13 |
| pygi | well, to control and broadcast stuff | 12:13 |
| Amaranth | client-side | 12:13 |
| pygi | right :P | 12:13 |
| Amaranth | the student's computer needs a modified x11vnc for the teacher's computer to control it how we want | 12:13 |
| Amaranth | in the CAD lab at my highschool the teacher could show up what was on his screen | 12:14 |
| Amaranth | he'd lock us out and show us how to do things on his computer | 12:14 |
| ark__ | I'm not sure if I understand this completely. Eric Harrison built the X vnc module so you can vnc into the client. Other than that my fl_TT program controls everything. The users do nothing. | 12:15 |
| pygi | ark__, right, well we need to modify that module | 12:16 |
| === highvoltage [n=jono@mtngprs7.mtn.co.za] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ark__ | Why do you need to modify it? | 12:17 |
| pygi | because this way it's intrusive :P | 12:18 |
| ark__ | the only person who can vnc into the client is someone who has the vnc password set in the root of the client env | 12:19 |
| ark__ | read my installation instructions on my page | 12:20 |
| ark__ | One student cannot vnc into another | 12:21 |
| ark__ | because they don't know the password | 12:21 |
| ark__ | I am a high school teacher btw | 12:22 |
| pygi | yup, saw that :) | 12:22 |
| ark__ | I gotta get going. If you want to further this discussion please email me. Thanks. | 12:24 |
| pygi | oki, enjoy | 12:24 |
| ark__ | bye | 12:24 |
| pygi | bluekuja, I still dont have my comment :p | 12:39 |

| jsgotangco | im supposed to have someone pick up my passport tomorrow | 10:13 |
| jsgotangco | but the guy at the embassy told me that their network is still not working | 10:13 |
| jsgotangco | and can't issue electronic visas | 10:13 |
| jsgotangco | *so* | 10:13 |
| jsgotangco | they're going to issue handwritten ones | 10:13 |
| highvoltage | ah | 10:20 |
| highvoltage | at least you | 10:22 |
| highvoltage | at least you're getting a visa :) | 10:22 |
| highvoltage | which is good. | 10:22 |
| highvoltage | i hope to get a call to say that i can pick up my visa in about an hour or so | 10:22 |
| jsgotangco | good luck, i can just imagine the others with me yesterday are also a bit surprised at the handwritten stuff | 10:23 |

| EmxBA | hi! | 12:15 |
| cbx33 | DanielC: do you know mac addresses? | 12:21 |
| cbx33 | you could always plug them both in, ping their ip addresses | 12:21 |
| cbx33 | unplug one | 12:21 |
| cbx33 | then do an ifconfig | 12:21 |
| cbx33 | and see which is responding? | 12:21 |
| DanielC | cbx33: Not really. I only half know what a mac address is. | 12:21 |
| DanielC | cbx33: Well, the problem is that I can't get networking up on this computer. | 12:21 |
| cbx33 | ok | 12:22 |
| cbx33 | is dhcp running on the network? | 12:22 |
| andi5 | DanielC: ubuntu has a hardware manager, there you can find the corresponding network device, do not know about edubuntu | 12:22 |
| cbx33 | andi5: yes edubuntu has that too | 12:22 |
| DanielC | cbx33: yes | 12:22 |
| cbx33 | ok, what happens when you do | 12:22 |
| DanielC | andi5: I took a look at it, but couldn't figure out which one was eth1 and which was eth0. | 12:23 |
| cbx33 | are they both plugged into the network | 12:23 |
| andi5 | but you see them? look at the second tab | 12:23 |
| DanielC | andi5: I saw one of them. When I didn't figure out if it was eth0 or 1 I didn't try to find the other. | 12:23 |
| DanielC | Ok, let's try on my desktop. | 12:24 |
| DanielC | Hardware manager. Under Devices I found my network card. | 12:24 |
| DanielC | select it, and click on the Advanced tab. | 12:24 |
| DanielC | Now? | 12:24 |
| andi5 | now, for me there is the device and as a child of it "networking interface" | 12:24 |
| andi5 | now = no | 12:25 |
| DanielC | ok: net.interface strlist eth0 | 12:25 |
| DanielC | So I guess that's my answer. | 12:25 |
| andi5 | yep | 12:25 |
| DanielC | I'll try now on the server. Thanks! | 12:25 |
| === DanielC goes to the server | ||
| andi5 | cbx33: any idea on my question above? | 12:26 |
| DanielC | Hmm... I have eth2 and eth1 but no eth0. Is that bad? | 12:27 |
| EmxBA | does anyone know how can i setup my orinoco wifi PCMCIA card | 12:27 |
| cbx33 | DanielC: not necessarily | 12:27 |
| DanielC | ok | 12:27 |
| andi5 | DanielC: it can be damn bad if this circumvents your firewall | 12:28 |
| EmxBA | DanielC: could you help me with orinoco | 12:28 |
| DanielC | andi5: Ubuntu has no firewall anyways. | 12:28 |
| andi5 | huh? | 12:28 |
| andi5 | DanielC: run $ iptables -L and tell me what you see ;-) | 12:29 |
| DanielC | EmxBA: Orinoco is a large rive branching from the amazon in Brazil and flowing through Venezuela into a delta into the Caribean, near Trinidad and Tobago. If that's not the one you're talking about, I can't help you :) | 12:29 |
| EmxBA | :) DanielC | 12:29 |
| EmxBA | i meant orinoco wireless chipsets | 12:30 |
| DanielC | andi5: No firewall rules. | 12:30 |
| EmxBA | ;) | 12:30 |
| andi5 | hm.... then i must have configured it by just running firestarter once.... maybe i am wrong then :) | 12:30 |
| DanielC | andi5: Ubuntu defaults to not having any firewall, but also not having any services listening to any ports. | 12:31 |
| DanielC | Works well. | 12:31 |
| EmxBA | DanielC: can you help me or not? | 12:31 |
| === EmxBA needs help... | ||

| andi5 | EmxBA: i am quite sure there are loads of documents about linux+orinoco in the internet, as well as ubuntu+orinoco, have you tried to search a bit? | 12:32 |
| highvoltage | i had an orinoco card before and it just worked. | 12:32 |
| highvoltage | does iwconfig show the card? | 12:32 |
| EmxBA | yes | 12:32 |
| EmxBA | but iwlist eth1 scan doesn't show anything | 12:33 |
| EmxBA | but kismet does :) | 12:33 |
| EmxBA | really | 12:33 |
| highvoltage | and if you do a iwconfig eth1 essid NETWORKNAME key YOURKEY | 12:33 |
| highvoltage | does it connect? | 12:33 |
| EmxBA | and if the network doesn't require key | 12:33 |
| EmxBA | doesn't use WEP | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | than what? | 12:34 |
| highvoltage | then you can just leave out the key part | 12:34 |
| highvoltage | you should be able to set it up with the graphical network manager without any problems too. | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | i tried that, for example iwconfig eth1 essid "HOTEL SARAJ WIRELESS" | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | :) | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | and nothing | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | i got connected | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | but i had no route | 12:34 |
| EmxBA | nothing setup | 12:35 |
| EmxBA | in graphical network manager i cannot connect | 12:35 |
| highvoltage | do you have dhcp on your network? | 12:35 |
| EmxBA | i need to know right IP and gateway | 12:35 |
| highvoltage | perhaps try a dhclient eth1 ? | 12:35 |
| EmxBA | highvoltage, i think you haven't found out that I am searching for help for hacking into open wireless network :) | 12:35 |
| EmxBA | i do not know if there is any dhcp | 12:36 |
| highvoltage | heh | 12:36 |

| EmxBA | i installed it "sudo apt-get install gcc" | 12:44 |
| EmxBA | but when i want to compile any app, i get error:C compiler cannot create executables | 12:45 |
| highvoltage | i don't know what causes that. the little coding i do happens in python. i have yet to learn the wonders of C. | 12:48 |
| EmxBA | do you have Gcc installed? | 12:48 |
| highvoltage | yes | 12:48 |
| EmxBA | and? | 12:49 |
| EmxBA | can you compile anything | 12:49 |

| ogra | so you should just be able to dubleclick a setup.exe | 01:21 |
| ogra | indeed you cant install XP this way, but well ;) | 01:21 |
| pygi | right, but I wouldnt like wine handle .Net exe files, if that can be handled much better then Mono :P | 01:21 |
| pygi | bleh, true :) | 01:22 |
| pygi | I had kinda good discussion with the author of TeacherTool (or something like that :P) | 01:22 |
| ogra | i saw it | 01:23 |
| ogra | you didnt tell him that we dont use X at all | 01:23 |
| pygi | ah, good :) | 01:23 |
| pygi | yup, I am aware of that :P | 01:23 |
| pygi | We will continue discussion by mail anyway | 01:23 |
| ogra | an X extension for ltsp 4.2 cant work for us | 01:23 |
| highvoltage | ogra: there's nothing more wrong with it than running a java application, imho! | 01:23 |
| ogra | he's nagging since breezy already, i had a look at the code and didnt find much stuff we could reuse | 01:24 |
| pygi | hm,ok, so no need for me to look again? | 01:24 |
| ogra | our problem is ssh integration | 01:24 |
| pygi | right | 01:25 |
| DanielC | I can't login from the thin clients. After I type in the user name and password it logs me out again. It's just as if I had typed the wrong user name and password (except that I didn't). | 01:26 |
| ogra | additionally the ui makes me scream ... i wouldt give that to any teacher ... | 01:26 |
| pygi | ogra, that I agree :) | 01:27 |
| DanielC | How can I modify what the client computer does when you type the wrong password? That would help me diagnose the problem. | 01:27 |
| cbx33 | hiya all | 01:27 |
| ogra | DanielC, did you change the NIc or the IP rnage or something like that for the client network on the server ? | 01:27 |
| ogra | *range | 01:27 |
| DanielC | ogra: I added a new network card. I think I configured things correctly. | 01:27 |
| cbx33 | I think you did din't you DanielC | 01:27 |
| cbx33 | you need to update the ssh keys | 01:27 |
| DanielC | ah | 01:28 |
| DanielC | What was that command again? | 01:28 |
| DanielC | ltsp-update-sshkeys? | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | ltsp-update-keys | 01:28 |
| DanielC | I was close :) | 01:28 |
| === pygi runs away now | ||
| cbx33 | i think yo are right | 01:28 |
| === DanielC updates the keys | ||
| ogra | DanielC, you were *right* (not close) ;) | 01:28 |
| === cbx33 is about to post up a screenshot of the brand new gisomount UI | ||
| cbx33 | ogra: I should have known that seeing as I wrote the man pages | 01:29 |
| ogra | well, i often got it wrong as well in the beginning ;) | 01:29 |
| DanielC | ogra :) I'm rebooting the client now, let's see what happens... | 01:29 |
| DanielC | ogra: Doesn't work :( | 01:30 |
| ogra | is the ssh server running ? | 01:30 |
| DanielC | The most significant change recently is that I replaced a NIC. | 01:30 |
| ogra | and did it update the keys for the right IP ? | 01:31 |
| ogra | (the output should tell you) | 01:31 |
| cbx33 | :) | 01:31 |
| DanielC | The output lists both IP addresses. | 01:32 |
| ogra | ok | 01:32 |
| DanielC | I ran /etc/init.d/ssh restart. No change. | 01:32 |
| ogra | and the sshd is running | 01:32 |
| ogra | ok | 01:32 |
| ogra | can the user log in directly on the server without probs ? | 01:32 |
| DanielC | I can't find anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log | 01:32 |
| DanielC | Yes. If I'm sitting right at the server I can log in. | 01:33 |
| ogra | ok | 01:33 |
| ogra | create a rootpw on the client with: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd | 01:33 |
| DanielC | What's a rootpw? | 01:34 |
| ogra | then make a login attempt on the client, switch to console there and log in as root | 01:34 |
| ogra | a root password | 01:34 |
| DanielC | ok | 01:34 |
| === DanielC goes to the server | ||
| DanielC | Ok, I'm root on the client text console. | 01:37 |
| ogra | did you first make a login attempt through the gui ? | 01:37 |
| DanielC | yes | 01:38 |
| ogra | (with the user you used before) | 01:38 |
| ogra | ok | 01:38 |
| ogra | so have a look at /var/log/ldm.log | 01:38 |
| === DanielC is looking, trying to make sense of the log | ||
| DanielC | I'm sure that "Exit stauts -1" is bad. | 01:39 |
| ogra | yes | 01:39 |
| ogra | can you scp it to the server and then put it online anywhere so i can have a look ? | 01:40 |
| DanielC | Will do. | 01:40 |
| ogra | sigh, 120 mails in -users ... | 01:41 |
| DanielC | got it. Where's the pastebin again? | 01:42 |
| === DanielC finds pastebin.com | ||
| ogra | pastebin.ca for example | 01:43 |
| DanielC | http://pastebin.com/710515 | 01:44 |
| ogra | # | 01:45 |
| ogra | # | 01:45 |
| ogra | Connection to 192.168.17.1 closed by remote host. | 01:45 |
| DanielC | :( | 01:45 |
| ogra | your problem lies on the server | 01:45 |
| ogra | have a look at the users .xsession-errors file (in the users homedir) | 01:46 |
| DanielC | ok | 01:46 |
| ogra | oh, and make sure to not have sabayon installed unless you added a profile for every user | 01:46 |
| ogra | sabayonn breaks ssh connections if no profiles are set up | 01:46 |
| DanielC | damm! | 01:47 |
| DanielC | sabayon it is | 01:47 |
| ogra | heh | 01:47 |
| DanielC | Ok, so what's the solution? To setup a profile for every user? | 01:48 |
| ogra | we'll fix that by adding some basic profiles for edgy | 01:48 |
| ogra | yes | 01:48 |
| DanielC | Ok, I'll go and do that now. Thanks. | 01:48 |
| DanielC | ogra: IT WORKS!! Thanks! | 01:51 |
| ogra | :) | 01:51 |

| jsgotangco | yesterday they told me they couldn't issue the electronic visa because their system was down or not connecting to somewhere god only knows | 02:59 |
| jsgotangco | but promised it would be done by friday | 02:59 |
| jsgotangco | so i went to work today and planned to have someone pick up my passport tomorrow | 03:00 |
| jsgotangco | but i called up the embassy just to make sure if its allowed | 03:00 |
| jsgotangco | they told me they still can't issue an electronic visa but said its ok even im supposed to leave on saturday morning here | 03:01 |
| jsgotangco | because they're going to issue me and the rest... | 03:01 |

| jsgotangco | in my mind i said, so much for french technology | 03:01 |
| jsgotangco | heh me and 50 others yesterday were screaming for blood | 03:02 |
| slashdevnull | ogra, I'm still having the same problem as yesterday with ltsp on 6.06. However, I removed "quiet" and "splash" at boot time, and am seeing what looks to be the culprit | 03:02 |
| slashdevnull | Not video drivers. It's not getting that far. | 03:02 |
| === ogra__ [n=ogra@p5089E44F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| slashdevnull | The final line, before everything grinds to a halt, is "nfs: server 192.168.4.2 not responding, still trying" | 03:05 |
| ogra | and 192.168.4.2 is surely your nfs server ? | 03:06 |
| jsgotangco | ogra: was the fun stuff you said yesterday concerned teamspeak? | 03:06 |
| ogra | did it already get annonced ? | 03:06 |
| jsgotangco | i received an email from elmo about it | 03:06 |
| jsgotangco | me and ajmitch were using it earlier | 03:07 |
| ogra | ah, cool | 03:07 |
| ogra | my amd64 lappie has no mic, so i cant really test before i have a headset | 03:07 |
| ogra | but at least we have it working on amd64 | 03:08 |
| jsgotangco | im bringing a headset heh | 03:08 |
| slashdevnull | ogra: Yes, and other machines (already running a full environment) can access that share | 03:08 |
| ogra | slashdevnull, and you dont run a second dhcp server in that network or something ? | 03:08 |
| ogra | cbx33, the screenshot looks sexy ... | 03:09 |
| slashdevnull | I do not. That server does dhcp for that segment, thin and thick clients | 03:09 |
| ogra | and you didnt fiddle with /etc/hosts.allow or with any firewall rules or other crap that would break it ? | 03:11 |
| slashdevnull | I didn't, but I can check those. | 03:12 |
| ogra | well, if you didnt change the defaults that should be fine | 03:12 |
| slashdevnull | They look good. hosts.* are empty except for comments. | 03:13 |
| ogra | ok | 03:13 |
| ogra | can you post your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to pastebin ? | 03:14 |
| slashdevnull | The last thing on-screen before stopping at that final error is scripts/init-* stuff | 03:14 |
| slashdevnull | I do not have an /etc/ltsp. Is that a part of -standalone? | 03:14 |
| ogra | err, yes | 03:15 |
| ogra | so where does your dhcp server run then ? | 03:15 |
| slashdevnull | The server is running the "dhcp" package, which is 2.0pl5-19.4 according to dpkg | 03:16 |
| ogra | so you run it *on* the ltsp server anyway ? | 03:17 |
| slashdevnull | It also has dhcp3-client and dhcp3-common installed. | 03:17 |
| slashdevnull | yes | 03:17 |
| ogra | why didnt you use standalone then ? it comes preconfigured | 03:17 |
| slashdevnull | We were doing kickstart stuff on this server before setting it up as ltsp. It was already set up for that | 03:17 |
| ogra | you only need to change the ip rnage in the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file to match the interface and it should run | 03:18 |
| slashdevnull | But, if I can make -standalone work for that, I can make the switch, sure | 03:18 |
| slashdevnull | I will backup my /etc/dhcpd.conf, remove dhcp server, ltsp-server, and install standalone | 03:19 |
| ogra | i suspect something is wrong with your dhcpd.conf (thats the reason why -standalone ships a very simplyfied version of that file that works right) | 03:19 |
| slashdevnull | ok | 03:19 |
| ogra | no | 03:19 |
| ogra | just install -standalone | 03:19 |
| slashdevnull | ok | 03:19 |
| ogra | no need to remove or backup anything | 03:19 |
| ogra | it wont touch your old conf ;) | 03:19 |
| ogra | (it will just ignore it) | 03:19 |
| slashdevnull | "The following packages will be removed: dhcp." That made me think I should backup. :) | 03:20 |
| ogra | it wont touch anya files you modified unless you use the --purge switch | 03:20 |
| ogra | ERRRRRRR | 03:21 |
| ogra | 2.0pl5-19.4 | 03:21 |
| ogra | where the heck did you get such an old obsolete dhcpd version ? | 03:21 |
| ogra | tzhats not an ubuntu package | 03:21 |
| slashdevnull | dunno. | 03:21 |
| ogra | are you sure you didnt break the system by adding debian repos ? | 03:21 |
| slashdevnull | must have gotten put in by one of the other admins. grrr... | 03:21 |
| slashdevnull | Our other servers are debian | 03:22 |
| ogra | aha | 03:22 |
| ogra | looks to me like there is a mixed debian ubuntu setup running ... | 03:22 |
| slashdevnull | cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:22 |
| slashdevnull | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted universe multiverse | 03:22 |
| slashdevnull | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse | 03:22 |
| slashdevnull | deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted universe multiverse | 03:22 |
| slashdevnull | No debian repos in there | 03:22 |
| ogra | the only thing you could do then would be a reinstall | 03:22 |
| slashdevnull | of dhcpd? | 03:22 |
| ogra | ok | 03:22 |
| ogra | of the system | 03:22 |
| ogra | there is no way to clean up that mess if you mix the repos | 03:23 |
| slashdevnull | I'll check all of the installed packages for non-ubuntu | 03:23 |
| ogra | how would you do that ? | 03:24 |
| slashdevnull | That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm starting with dpkg -l and loosing everything that shows "ubuntu" in it. Then, looking at what's left | 03:25 |
| ogra | that doesnt work | 03:25 |
| ogra | only packages we manually changed have the ubuntu tag in the version string ... | 03:26 |
| ogra | packages that are just rebuilt from debian with ubuntu dependencys wont have it | 03:26 |
| slashdevnull | Right, but the others can be passed into apt-cache show, and checked to see what they provide or require, filtering that many more of them out. | 03:26 |
| ogra | (but are still binary incompatible with debian) | 03:26 |

| ogra | yep | 03:42 |
| slashdevnull | coolio | 03:42 |
| ogra | only change the ip ranges ... | 03:42 |
| slashdevnull | alright. I have named hosts as well. Put thos in there, or another file? | 03:43 |
| ogra | the gettingstarted doc has instructions (see channel topic) | 03:43 |

| === JaneW endorses chris-t4 's videos | ||
| JaneW | welcome | 04:07 |
| DanielC | ogra: Is sound supported on thin clients? From the website I can see that you've been thinking a lot about the issue but I can't tell if it's been resolved. | 04:07 |
| chris-t4 | I have not tried to see the videos from a thin client and don't currently have access to do this. Could someone give it a try? | 04:08 |
| ogra | DanielC, yes, it is, you need to add SOUND=True to your lts.conf file | 04:09 |
| DanielC | ogra: thanks. Do I need to reboot anything after that? Just the thin client? | 04:09 |
| ogra | chris-t4, running video on thin clients is generally a bad idea and rather runs like a slideshow | 04:09 |
| ogra | just the client | 04:10 |
| DanielC | thanks | 04:10 |
| jsgotangco | JaneW: ! | 04:10 |

| === JaneW is just lurking | ||
| DanielC | ogra: My only lts.conf file is in an "examples" directory. It looks like I don't have an "active" lts.conf. Is this bad? (I don't know what lts.conf does). | 04:11 |
| JaneW | I serendipetously got the day off :))) | 04:11 |
| jsgotangco | oh really | 04:11 |
| jsgotangco | or are you just starting to have withdrawal symptoms | 04:11 |
| ogra | DanielC, you need to create one in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc | 04:11 |
| ogra | containing the line: | 04:11 |

| ogra | DanielC, if you want to change settings for a specific workstation in lts.conf you replace default with te MAC address of the NIC of that client (or add a stanza for it) | 04:14 |
| chris-t4 | Ogra - These videos explain how to do a workstation install and set up a computer with a teacher and student account. I thought this would be the experience that most teachers have first with Edubuntu. | 04:14 |
| ogra | chris-t4, yep | 04:15 |
| jsgotangco | where are these videos? | 04:15 |

| ogra | DanielC, the typical usage of lts.conf in ltsp.org's ltsp is to do the setup *at all*, the typical use of lts.conf in ubuntu ltsp is to override the autodetection :) | 04:16 |
| DanielC | :) | 04:16 |
| === ogra is annoyed enough be having the worldcup if he steps out the door ... no need for additional online soccer stuff :) | ||
| ogra | but i saw the link :) | 04:17 |
| jsgotangco | nice videos | 04:17 |
| jsgotangco | ogra: i hope germany loses then | 04:17 |
| ogra | :P | 04:17 |
| ogra | i hope they dont, all that depression in the streets will even be harder to bear | 04:17 |
| DanielC | ogra: It didn't work, but at this stage I can't rule out hardware so I'll test that. | 04:18 |
| ogra | indeed that Hw autodetection for the soundcard driver must work, else you'Re screwed | 04:19 |
| ogra | i.e. clients with cyrix chipset have no driver at all that works | 04:20 |
| ogra | even they have a soundcard, you cant use it | 04:20 |
| DanielC | ogra: I can hear the sound on the *server's* sound card. Is that a bad sign? | 04:20 |
| ogra | that indicates that something went wrong | 04:22 |
| DanielC | Thought so. | 04:22 |
| ogra | you should either have no sound at all or sound from the client | 04:22 |
| DanielC | You sure I don't need to restart anything besides the thin client? | 04:23 |
| ogra | you didnt typo in lts.conf or something ? | 04:23 |
| chris-t4 | jsgotangco - Thanks | 04:24 |
| jsgotangco | hmm | 04:25 |

| jsgotangco | ogra: is there a kernel update? | 04:25 |
| ogra | DanielC, and what about /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf ? | 04:25 |
| ogra | ;) | 04:25 |
| DanielC | ogra: oops, mis-typed | 04:26 |
| DanielC | yes, I put it in ie86 | 04:26 |

| chris-t4 | Questions for creating documentation - If a teacher is going to create one non-administrative student account for all students to use, what would be some best security practices? | 06:24 |
| ogra | none, since that wont work well | 06:25 |
| chris-t4 | This works very well in our school district with OS X. Is there not a way to do this well with Edubuntu also? | 06:28 |
| ogra | there is no way to do it in a sane way with openoffice and firefox, the desktop isnt the problem | 06:28 |
| ogra | but since you will likely use one of these apps, you should rather have an account per client | 06:29 |
| ogra | or per user | 06:29 |
| jsgotangco | they don't integrate well :/ | 06:30 |

| jsgotangco | :D | 06:31 |
| ogra | i know ;) | 06:31 |
| jsgotangco | hmm so the kernel updates are from -security | 06:32 |
| HedgeMage | chris-t4: also, if all students are logging on as the same user, they can all access and change one another's files, etc etc. | 06:32 |
| HedgeMage | chris-t4: it is a *bad thing* to share logins | 06:32 |

| HedgeMage | You know, it wouldn't be hard to hack together a script to take a plaintext list of student names, create an account for each according to some profile, and then output a list of usernames and pws | 06:34 |

| HedgeMage | ogra: since you know they exist, do you know any that are any good? :P | 06:35 |
| ogra | well, some users used some in breezy and that seemed to work | 06:35 |

| chris-t4 | We have sharepoints created on OS X servers. | 06:40 |
| dan_young | right, but the students must have usernames and passwords to log on to those, right? | 06:41 |
| HedgeMage | darn, dan_young you beat me to it :P | 06:43 |

| pygi | HedgeMage, I will try to attend | 06:52 |
| HedgeMage | pygi: cool | 06:53 |
| chris-t4 | I would really like it if there was a open source program like DeepFreeze for Edubuntu. We use this to create one student account that is "frozen". The students can alter things, but when the machine is restarted everything returns back to it's original state. | 06:54 |
| ogra | you mean like pessulus ? | 06:55 |
| DanielC | chris-t4: Good job with the flash tutorials. I notice that you created 1 account for all the pupils. Has that worked well for you? | 06:55 |
| === DanielC googles for pessulus | ||
| chris-t4 | I am not familiar with this. Does it for the same way? | 06:55 |
| HedgeMage | chris-t4: that's actually similar to something we've been talking about on the mailing list recently... there was something available but I forget what it was called. | 06:55 |
| === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | pessulus is a lockdown tool for the desktop ... | 06:56 |
| DanielC | chris-t4: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1082 | 06:56 |
| chris-t4 | DanielC - It has worked very well with other OS's, but I am now trying to make it work with Edubuntu. | 06:57 |
| DanielC | chris-t4: OpenOffice.org and Firefox are likely to cause problems. | 06:57 |
| chris-t4 | DanielC - These are the kinds of things DeepFreeze stops. | 06:58 |
| DanielC | chris-t4: I was going to create one account for each year group but after trying for a few days we decided to tell the head teacher that we just couldn't do it and it'd have to be a single account per PC. | 06:58 |
| chris-t4 | One account per student works great for elementary classrooms, but not secondary. There can be thousands of students. | 06:59 |
| slashdevnull | ogra: update: Installing ltsp server on new hardware. Fresh, clean install. | 06:59 |
| dan_young | chris-t4: we had a display manager "Session" type that just reset the desktop by nuking the desktop prefs; brutal but effective. If the student blows up their desktop, log out and log in with the Reset session to, erm, reset it. | 07:00 |
| DanielC | chris-t4: I just installed pessulus here and I'm running it. It looks like it'll prevent students from making changes (as opposed to deleting changes on logout). | 07:00 |
| chris-t4 | Sounds like both of those may be good solutions. | 07:01 |
| DanielC | Run "sudo aptitude install pessulus" and give it a go. | 07:02 |
| chris-t4 | what about application preferences? | 07:02 |
| DanielC | Doesn't look like it... | 07:02 |
| DanielC | Well... | 07:02 |
| DanielC | I see the option "disable save to disk" | 07:02 |
| dan_young | chris-t4: a complete solution probably will include several methods; might look in to a .bashrc that does some magic | 07:02 |
| DanielC | That should take care of any preferences, right? | 07:02 |
| DanielC | Any application preferences involves saving to the disk. So I assume that if we disable save to disk that should take care of everything... | 07:03 |
| chris-t4 | This will take some experimenting. I'm trying to create documentation for the average teacher to be able to do this though so the process can't be too technical. | 07:07 |
| === Laser_away is now known as LaserJock | ||
| slashdevnull | ogra: Success with new server. Thanks for all of the help. Now I just need to figure out how to make everything work on the old server. :P | 07:22 |
| slashdevnull | ogra: I am even using fglrx on the new server. Unfortunately, the new "server" is a workstation, made to do double-duty for the moment. | 07:23 |
| ogra | just make everything the same as on the working one :P :) | 07:23 |

| ogra | search for hibernate in gconf-editor | 07:29 |
| ogra | there is a key for that you can uncheck | 07:29 |

| LaserJock | RobinShepheard: if it is on fridge or not ;-) | 08:11 |
| RobinShepheard | lol ok, I flopped | 08:11 |
| LaserJock | or maybe fridge should turn into Ubuntu Scheduling since generally you don't put formal meeting annoucments on your fridge neccesarily | 08:12 |
| LaserJock | or mabye you do | 08:12 |
| RobinShepheard | is there an edubuntu fridge ?? | 08:12 |

| slashdevnull | heh. That doesn't seem to be working on this end | 08:36 |
| RobinShepheard | slashdevnull: it was only a test server | 08:36 |
| lucasvo | I *love* the WinXP bug :)_ | 08:36 |
| RobinShepheard | slashdevnull: you have pulled all the power cable and left for 2 mins then put them back in a rebooted and it is still borked ? | 08:37 |
| RobinShepheard | lucasvo: you can change the encodings but that seems to be about it in gconf-editor | 08:38 |
| slashdevnull | Well, I have not given it the requisite 2 minutes. Maybe I'll try letting it sit and think about how bad it's being while I go to lunch | 08:39 |
| RobinShepheard | well I tried it and it seemed to work, but I wouldn't hold my breath, oh I tried to powercycle with the power button before I pulled the plug | 08:40 |
| RobinShepheard | power light wason when I pulled the plug | 08:40 |
| RobinShepheard | * was on even | 08:40 |
| slashdevnull | ok, thanks. I will be back. must eat - it's almost 3pm here, and I have had even breakfast yet today. :P | 08:40 |

| RobinShepheard | I keep checking the time | 08:43 |
| === RobinShepheard waves back | ||
| lucasvo | RobinShepheard: where can I find the option in gconf-editor? | 08:47 |
| RobinShepheard | apps -> gnome-terminal -> global -> active encodings | 08:48 |
| lucasvo | ty | 08:49 |
| RobinShepheard | then you can choose character encoding under terminal | 08:49 |
| RobinShepheard | lucasvo no problem | 08:49 |
| lucasvo | RobinShepheard: in Terminal I only have: Set Title, Reset and clear, Reset | 08:50 |
| RobinShepheard | lucasvo: I don't know whether it will fix your problem as the encoding is fine for me | 08:50 |
| lucasvo | RobinShepheard: I am actually missing this entry | 08:50 |
| lucasvo | that's the whole pont | 08:50 |
| lucasvo | it somehow disapperard | 08:50 |
| RobinShepheard | when you have gone into gconf-editor and added a new encoding | 08:50 |
| RobinShepheard | it appears | 08:50 |
| ogra | RobinShepheard, sorry i'm just in a meeting | 08:51 |
| RobinShepheard | ogra sorry to bother you but I have been thinking a bit about stuff to leave out of edgy, where do I leave suggestions?? | 08:51 |
| lucasvo | RobinShepheard: it disappeared in an update | 08:51 |
| ogra | what do you mean by "leave out of edgy" ? | 08:52 |
| RobinShepheard | lucasvo: I went into gconf-editor and added a new encoding and then it appeared in the menu | 08:52 |
| RobinShepheard | ogra: the slimming down of the cd | 08:52 |
| ogra | aha | 08:52 |
| RobinShepheard | ogra: as the main market at the moment seems to be schools with pupils around the 16yrs and under, do you really need blender?? | 08:54 |
| ogra | it was a major request on the edubuntu summit to have it | 08:54 |
| === arkan0x [n=arkan0x@201.215.87.19] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| lucasvo | RobinShepheard, ogra: one could make a Voting on Edubuntu website | 08:54 |
| RobinShepheard | I am only going by the uk schools but that is way above anything thay teach here | 08:55 |
| ogra | additionally its only about 2M or 5 or something | 08:55 |
| ogra | lucasvo, surely not | 08:55 |
| lucasvo | ogra: why not? | 08:55 |
| ogra | RobinShepheard, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/edubuntu-edgy-cd-diet | 08:55 |
| RobinShepheard | true, but 2M would be a few language packs | 08:55 |
| lucasvo | ogra: a voting for which apps you need in edubuntu is reasonable imho | 08:55 |
| ogra | that links to a wikipage where i added a "user suggestions" section at the bottom | 08:56 |
| ogra | lucasvo, because votes are not really reliable | 08:56 |
| lucasvo | sure | 08:56 |
| ogra | RobinShepheard, 2M it not even 1 langpack | 08:56 |
| RobinShepheard | ahh I got it, cheers for that | 08:56 |
| ogra | probably half or a quater of one ... | 08:57 |
| === DanielC [n=daniel@82.151.249.90.adsl.griffin.net.uk] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| RobinShepheard | ahh but you were talking about dropping the kde ones in the article and creating ones just for kdeedu | 08:57 |
| ogra | yo always have to take into account that we ship the whole of KDE translations for every lang we ship | 08:57 |
| ogra | *if* we decide to do it that way, yes ... | 08:58 |
| ogra | but the current situation means several MB for KDE for every lang | 08:58 |
| RobinShepheard | true, there is also the fact that gcompris links to gnuchess but it is not installed by default | 08:58 |
| RobinShepheard | also 'cos of space I understand | 08:59 |
| RobinShepheard | other thought would be to use thunderbird instead of evolution as the email client | 09:00 |
| RobinShepheard | the main advantage to evolution seems to be the exchange support, but I don't know if many schools use exchange | 09:01 |
| RobinShepheard | lucasvo: how is the encoding coming along?? | 09:03 |

| befree | i'm experiencing some problem.. | 09:18 |
| RobinShepheard | blue-frog: fair point, but will that be used that much with school-tool?? | 09:18 |
| RobinShepheard | befree: go on | 09:19 |
| befree | i get the X running but no login manager .. :( | 09:19 |
| blue-frog | nope indeed | 09:19 |
| befree | in the thin client | 09:19 |
| RobinShepheard | DarkElf109: I dunno the answer to that one I am afraid | 09:19 |
| blue-frog | RobinShepheard: thing is as well evolution works with palm pilot, not thunderbird (asaik) | 09:19 |
| befree | i'm using edubuntu 6.06 with a thin client with rtl8029 | 09:19 |
| blue-frog | RobinShepheard: byt then teachers with palm may not be a lot... | 09:20 |
| befree | RobinShepheard, any ideia? | 09:20 |
| RobinShepheard | blue-frog: and less kids with them | 09:20 |
| RobinShepheard | befree: what is the problem in the thin client | 09:20 |
| befree | it loads the kernel correctly | 09:21 |
| befree | load X | 09:21 |
| befree | but doesn't load any login manager | 09:22 |
| RobinShepheard | what do you see on screen befree?? | 09:22 |
| befree | do you know the grey screen of X? | 09:23 |
| befree | normally appearing before the login.. | 09:23 |
| RobinShepheard | as in straight X not the gnome session?? | 09:23 |
| befree | yes.. | 09:24 |
| highvoltage | befree: that sounds like a problem you can get when using ltsp.org. how did you install ltsp and edubuntu? | 09:24 |
| befree | the normal installation.. | 09:24 |
| befree | without modification.. | 09:24 |
| RobinShepheard | edubuntu disk -> hard disk install ? | 09:24 |
| highvoltage | i'm just scrolling up... rtl8029 is a very slow card. do you perhaps have a faster card around? | 09:24 |
| befree | and apt-get update && upgrade | 09:25 |
| befree | i'm in brasil.. in a poor conext | 09:25 |
| highvoltage | ah, ok. so this isn't on thin clients? sorry... i made too many assumptions | 09:25 |
| befree | i'm using a satellitar connection right now :) | 09:25 |
| befree | and i have to make a lesson to the professors of this village in order to they could use old pc to build a small "telecentro" | 09:27 |
| RobinShepheard | befree, what happens if you ctrl+alt+f1 and then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm/restart when you ctrl+alt+f7 has login manager started?? | 09:27 |
| RobinShepheard | doh sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 09:27 |
| befree | to | 09:28 |
| befree | it doesn't do anything | 09:28 |
| RobinShepheard | what doesn't?? | 09:28 |
| befree | or.. better.. if i press ctrlaltf1 it doesn't switch to console | 09:28 |
| RobinShepheard | ahh ok, how about using ctrl + alt + f2?? | 09:29 |
| befree | same thing :) | 09:29 |
| RobinShepheard | if you hit caps locak does the light change?? | 09:29 |
| befree | it seems blocked.. | 09:29 |
| RobinShepheard | *lock even | 09:29 |
| RobinShepheard | does caps lock turn the light on and off?? | 09:30 |
| ogra | befree, how much memory has that client ? | 09:31 |
| RobinShepheard | ogra: looks like you scared him away ;-) | 09:34 |
| ogra | or the sattelite moved ::) | 09:34 |
| RobinShepheard | lol | 09:35 |
| DanielC | was he on a sattelite connection? | 09:35 |
| RobinShepheard | yeah | 09:35 |
| RobinShepheard | v. high latency on them isn't there ?? | 09:35 |
| DanielC | I couldn't quite figure out if he was sitting in front of a thin client or the server. | 09:36 |
| RobinShepheard | nah, I was not sure | 09:36 |
| ogra | he was talking about a client | 09:36 |
| DanielC | ok | 09:36 |
| RobinShepheard | I thought maybe if we could find out whether caps lock light worked at least we would know if he had crashed | 09:37 |
| befree | opa'.. sorry i was in a call | 09:38 |
| RobinShepheard | no problem | 09:38 |
| DanielC | no problem | 09:38 |
| ogra | he was pretty clear in his first three sentences i found | 09:38 |
| DanielC | befree: Does caps lock do anything? | 09:38 |
| RobinShepheard | with the light that is | 09:38 |
| ogra | befree, an ubuntu thin client needs at least 48MB to reliably boot ... | 09:39 |
| ogra | better 64M | 09:39 |
| befree | it has 64mb | 09:40 |
| ogra | thats fine | 09:40 |
| DanielC | ogra: 64MB? That seems a tad high for a thin client. Yeah, I know people have a lot more today, but my first Linux computer had like 16MB. | 09:40 |
| ogra | did the installation finish properly without any errors ? | 09:40 |
| RobinShepheard | befree, have you tried using the memtest option on the install disk on the client?? | 09:40 |
| ogra | DanielC, we use the default ubuntu bits (kernel, libc and the like) that costs something | 09:41 |
| DanielC | ogra: Ok. | 09:41 |
| ogra | RobinShepheard, that would require a cdrom on the client :) | 09:42 |
| RobinShepheard | ogra: true, it may have one if it as 64mb of ram though | 09:42 |
| DanielC | The server must have a CDROM, so you can nick that. | 09:42 |
| RobinShepheard | DanielC: good point | 09:42 |
| befree | no .. it doesn't have cdrom | 09:43 |
| DanielC | Someone should make a memtest floppy. | 09:43 |
| ogra | befree, did the installation finish properly without any errors ? | 09:43 |

| cbx33 | yikes big crowd this evening | 09:44 |
| ogra | sounds like ldm isnt installed or something else in the LTSP builder failed during install | 09:44 |
| RobinShepheard | befree: it maybe, It could well be worth a test. I have run round in circles trying to find a problem and it was bad ram | 09:45 |
| RobinShepheard | cbx33: well it is the meeting in 15 mins | 09:45 |
| befree | is there any way to run with less then 48Mb of ram? | 09:45 |

| RobinShepheard | cbx33: did I see they made you a ebuntu member??? | 09:45 |
| RobinShepheard | doh edubuntu | 09:46 |

| cbx33 | RobinShepheard, np | 09:47 |
| RobinShepheard | befree: what resolution are you trying to run?? | 09:47 |
| ogra | befree, move it away and see if that solves it ... ubuntu uses autodetection | 09:47 |
| ogra | and not all options you know from ltsp.org are respected i.e. X_MODE_* isnt | 09:48 |

| befree | no.. | 09:52 |
| RobinShepheard | ok | 09:52 |
| ogra | befree, can you paste the lts.conf you use now to a pastebin (or if its not more than 5 lines, paste it here) | 09:52 |
| befree | [mac-address] | 09:53 |
| befree | XSERVER = vesa | 09:53 |
| befree | X_MODE_0 = 800x600 | 09:53 |
| befree | X_VERTREFRESH = 60 | 09:54 |
| befree | X_COLOR_DEPTH = 16 | 09:54 |
| ogra | thats it ? | 09:54 |
| befree | yes | 09:55 |
| RobinShepheard | X_MODE_0 and X_COLOR_DEPTH are apparently not implemented yet | 09:55 |
| ogra | hmm, nothing harmful in ther | 09:55 |
| ogra | X_COLOR_DEPTH is implemented | 09:55 |
| ogra | X_MODE_0 isnt needed, xorg computes the modeline from X_VERTREFRESH and the detected capabilities | 09:56 |
| RobinShepheard | ok, in that case https://wiki.edubuntu.com/EdubuntuLtsConfParams needs updating | 09:56 |
| ogra | RobinShepheard, nope, we need a new page for dapper (see at the top (i probably should make it bold)) | 09:56 |
| RobinShepheard | ok, my mistake | 09:57 |
| RobinShepheard | sorry | 09:57 |

| ogra | sbartleylinux, i have to run for a moment, will be back in ~1h | 10:03 |
| DanielC | befree: You have two clients and they both show the same problem? Ok, so it's probably not flaky RAM. It *might* be insufficient RAM. You could try grabbing RAM from one computer and putting it in the other to give it 64MB. Just to test if that's the problem. | 10:03 |
