TheWardenHi. I downloaded Edubuntu Live CD image.. burnt it and I can't get it to boot up. I see the startup menu.. I've tried all the options I know how to do.. it starts loading and then at the end the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor01:57
TheWardenthen just sits there. Nothing else happens afterwards. What else can I do to get it to work?01:57

sbalneavogra: ping01:50
FujitsuGood evening, sbalneav!01:52
sbalneavFujitsu: Morning!01:52
FujitsuEvening! Late evening at that.01:53
cwilluooo, people01:54
FujitsuOoh, a cwillu!01:55
cwillusay, what users exist on the remote image?01:55
cwilluquite!  :)01:55
Fujitsucwillu, none as far as I know.01:55
FujitsuYou can always check.01:55
cwilluwell, there's must be at least root01:55
cwilluhow do I check?01:55
FujitsuWell, yes.01:55
FujitsuHmm.01:55
=== Fujitsu locates the LTSP root.
cwilluchroot from the server?  because I can't seem to log in from the terminal01:55
FujitsuI haven't set up a server in a whole two weeks, I can't remember what the default root is...01:55
ogracwillu, root is locked by default as in all ubuntus :)01:55
ogramorning sbalneav 01:55
FujitsuYou can look at the passwd in the LTSP root.01:56
cwilluogra: no, it's just set to a random password that you're not told01:56
sbalneavMorning01:56
Fujitsucwillu, no.01:56
ogracwillu, nope01:56
Fujitsucwillu, it's set to nothing, thus disabled.01:56
ogracwillu, but you can set a password for root in the client chroot if you need to log in to the client for debugging01:56
ograsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd01:56
ograthat will forst ask for your user pw and then for the one you want to set in the chroot for root01:57
ograsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd -l will lock it again01:57
cwilluwow, there's alot of bad info on the net then... :p  I've read the random password thing in a good 5 or 6 places01:58
Fujitsucwillu, where? I'll go and email the webmasters about it. >:)01:58
sbalneavBwahahah!  You trust the internet?!?!? :) 01:58
cwillugoogle ubuntu root random password01:59
cwilluof course not :p01:59
ogra!root01:59
ubotusudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.01:59
sbalneavYou realize you're not even talking to humans, but incredible computer simuations, right? :)01:59
ogracwillu, see the wikipage the bot posted01:59
cwillusbalneav: of course;  I wrote the simulation :p01:59
sbalneavMaster!01:59
cwillucalm down calm down01:59
=== sbalneav bows to his maker
cwillu:p02:00
cwillueither way, sufficiently random password or disabled login under that user has the same effect;  so I have to create a user on that image if I want to do anything local on it (such as using a local harddrive)?02:00
ograno02:01
ogralocal devices work with a daemon running as root on the client02:02
jsgotangcohi02:02
cwilluand just to be pendantic, passwd -l root locks it again, not passwd -l it seems :p02:02
ograhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinClientLocalDevices describes how we'll implement it for the next release02:03
pygihi jsgotangco 02:03
cwilluI suppose I should also note that I'm not running a clean edubuntu, it's an xubuntu-desktop with various packages installed02:03
cwilluogra, ah, thanks :)02:03
ogracwillu, not if you run it via chroot02:03
cwilluogra, I just ran it as chroot, and it gave me the help page02:03
ogra(passwd -l)02:03
ograwell, chroot makes you root, if you run passwd -l it locks the pw of the currently used user (root)02:04
ogra(at least it should)02:04
cwillunope02:04
cwillumaybe it's different for root specifically02:04
cwilluI just logged in on the remote terminal, and then did passwd -l on the chroot again;  help page.   passwd -l root locked it though02:05
ograwell, might be ... i never use root ... not even while developing :)02:05

cbx33and not annoying little brats02:07
cbx33who have now started nicking pc components out of the machines02:08
cwilluheh;  I'm guessing I'm in for a world of fun if I want to use captive-fs here, huh?  :)02:08
cbx33cwillu: what for ntfs writing?02:08
cwillulocal drive02:08
cwilludoing weird stuff for the hell of it02:08
cbx33an ntfs partition?02:09
cwilluyes02:09
cbx33there is an ntfs fuse module now02:09
cwillunot full write support though02:09
cwilluI believe captive uses fuse though (?)02:09
cbx33maybe nbot full but it worked ok for me?02:09
cbx33unless they renamed it02:09
cbx33get the latest knoppix disc and look for a command called ntfsmount02:09
cbx33it mounts an ntfs partition02:10
cbx33rw02:10
cwillubasically, I feel much more comfortable using the driver that created the damn thing in the first place :)02:11
cbx33but of course02:11
cwilluI don't recall getting a warm fuzzy feeling re: what I recall of the limitations vs dbaseIII work (yay :/)02:12
cwillueither way;  what I'd almost like is a zero footprint netboot, livecd ish02:12
cwillureally, I should just go to bed before I do anything stupid, come to think of it02:13
=== cbx33 made that mistake the other day
cbx33hosed his pc :D02:14
cwilluooo, fun02:14
cwillusee, part of my problem is I've got so many to hose, that I end up just ignoring the hosed one02:15
cwillubut they're scattered all over the city, so it's a pain to get a nice fresh (previously hosed but now ignorant of the reason) one02:15
cbx33hehe I know the feeling02:20
cbx33 :D02:20
cwilluso, x is launched with a broadcast for an xdmcp'ish server?  if I installed gdm or something as silly as ubuntu-desktop, would that do what I might think it might do?02:22
FujitsuNo, not XDMCP.02:23
cwillumost specifically, would I actually get a local prompt, possibly with the xdmcp option (and specifically if I changed the default x session to be a chooser?)02:23
FujitsuIt tunnels over SSH, then launches X through the SSH tunnel.02:23
cwilluright, that's that certificate regeneration thingie you need to run if the server changes ip02:24
FujitsuNot certificate, but yes.02:24

cwilluhard link /var/cache/apt/ into /opt/ltsp/i386/var/cache/apt/?  :)02:29
ograi think even a softlink should work02:30
cwillusoft=symbolic?02:31
ograyep02:32
FujitsuHmm.... No, I don't think a symbolic link would work, as it installs the very base system, chroots, then installs the rest.02:32
FujitsuAnd once it chroots, the symlink is invalid.02:32
cwilluso hardlink...?02:33
cwilluand what else does that break :)02:33
cwillumaybe a unionfs approach would be safer02:33
