| seba_newbie | Hi all | 04:39 |
| Burgundavia | hey seba_newbie | 04:39 |
| seba_newbie | I want to make a copy of a edubuntu 6.06 for a friend | 04:39 |
| seba_newbie | i do | 04:39 |
| seba_newbie | dd if=/dev/hdc of=imagen.iso | 04:40 |
| seba_newbie | but i get different md5sums | 04:40 |
| seba_newbie | is that normal ? | 04:40 |
| seba_newbie | I want to be sure before burning | 04:41 |
| seba_newbie | I can mount the image via loop interface | 04:41 |
| seba_newbie | and it seems ok | 04:41 |
| Burgundavia | why don't you just copy the cd? | 04:41 |
| Burgundavia | dump the cd in and you should be able to right-click it and choose copy | 04:41 |
| seba_newbie | ahh, its a DVD, not a CD | 04:42 |
| Burgundavia | should just work | 04:42 |

| gotama | Hi! there. | 06:12 |
| gotama | How to change the grub setup in edubuntu? | 06:12 |
| bimberi | gotama: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst - what do you want to change? | 06:15 |
| gotama | I want to add suse-linux. | 06:18 |
| bimberi | gotama: yes, editing that file is the way. Exactly what to put I'm not certain, but if you have the grub config on your suse partition you could get the appropriate lines from that | 06:20 |
| gotama | I need to do this in edubuntu. | 06:21 |
| gotama | After I edit menu.lst how do I activate it? | 06:22 |
| bimberi | gotama: does your grub boot menu only offer edubuntu at the moment? | 06:23 |
| gotama | Yes. | 06:23 |
| bimberi | gotama: then you don't need to do anything else. grub reads that file at boot time | 06:24 |
| gotama | Ok. Thanks. I will try. | 06:24 |

| cbx33 | ogra, finished the kill/execute dbus functions in scp | 01:52 |
| cbx33 | also added a little something extra | 01:52 |
| cbx33 | if you get a sec take a look, I have commented out a bloc of c ode in my repo, just so I can test locally without an LTSP server | 01:52 |
| cbx33 | the exec function is primitive, but working | 01:52 |

| cbx33 | define client | 01:58 |
| cbx33 | if by client you mean each machine? | 01:59 |

| cbx33 | then it'll kick ass | 02:06 |

| gfxstyler | damn | 02:06 |
| gfxstyler | okay so i guess i'll give the 3200+ to my school | 02:06 |
| gfxstyler | hurts in my heart, lol | 02:06 |
| juliux | gfxstyler, use and athlon64 if you want to buy a new cpu | 02:07 |
| gfxstyler | i didnt use it for a few years but still ... | 02:07 |

| cbx33 | gfxstyler, yup | 02:28 |

| jsgotangco | sprint? | 04:09 |
| hkrug1 | hi i'm experienced in using ubuntu and just installed my first edubuntu 6.06.1 server. Unfortunately there were several problems most importantly: sudo does not work. The user created during installation can login on the server, but not execute sudo. What can I do ? | 04:10 |
| sbalneav | jsgotangco: I beleive there's an ubuntu code sprint somewhere in east Europe. I think I know the name but I'd probably get it horribly wrong. | 04:11 |
| sbalneav | bddebian: heh, with 16 k of ram, I think it might be a bit tough :) | 04:12 |
| jsgotangco | oh yeah in germany | 04:12 |
| === jsgotangco almost forgot | ||
| hkrug1 | Nobody out there who knows why sudo does not work just after installing edubuntu 6.06.1 ?? | 04:17 |
| jsgotangco | ? | 04:18 |
| sbalneav | hkrug1: have you logged in as the user who you entered during the install, or are you trying to sudo from a different user? | 04:20 |
| RichEd | hkrug1: can you be more specific "does not work" | 04:20 |
| hkrug1 | I logged in as the user whom I entered during the install. | 04:20 |
| RichEd | yep ... | 04:20 |
| sbalneav | what happens when you try to sudo? | 04:21 |
| hkrug1 | Then I tried sudo (more exact: thried to installed the available updates) | 04:21 |
| RichEd | and when you try sudo [password rejected / operates as normal user / machine bursts into flame] | 04:21 |
| hkrug1 | An error message appears | 04:21 |
| RichEd | hi sbalneav :) | 04:21 |
| sbalneav | Could you give us the exact error message? | 04:21 |
| hkrug1 | Any further time I try sudo: simply nothing, no message | 04:21 |
| sbalneav | Morning RichEd | 04:21 |
| hkrug1 | To give you the exact message I have to reboot the system, because the message appears only once. I'm doing this right now. | 04:22 |

| sbalneav | lets try something else quickly first | 04:22 |
| sbalneav | Or have you already started? | 04:22 |
| hkrug1 | Already reboots ;-) | 04:22 |

| sbalneav | application->accessories->terminal | 04:23 |
| sbalneav | Morning ogra! | 04:23 |
| hkrug1 | done | 04:23 |
| sbalneav | How's the sprint? | 04:23 |
| sbalneav | ok, lets type this: | 04:23 |
| sbalneav | sudo su - | 04:23 |
| hkrug1 | sudo su - .. it requires password ... i give the password | 04:24 |
| hkrug1 | but I'm I not root | 04:24 |
| hkrug1 | no error message | 04:24 |
| sbalneav | ok, type 'id' and paste the results | 04:24 |
| RichEd | sbalneav: thanks ... i've got to get into a phone conference in 5 mins ... appreciate the help | 04:24 |
| ogra | sbalneav: hey | 04:25 |
| hkrug1 | cannot past because other system: | 04:25 |
| ogra | got myself a usb floppy today | 04:25 |
| sbalneav | ok, does it say something like: | 04:25 |
| sbalneav | uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) | 04:25 |
| sbalneav | ogra: Cool. | 04:25 |
| ogra | well ... | 04:25 |
| hkrug1 | uid=1000(holgerkrug) gid=1000(holgerkrug) groups=4(adm),.....116(admin)... | 04:25 |
| sbalneav | ok | 04:25 |
| sbalneav | lets do this: | 04:25 |

| === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| sbalneav | Hmmmm | 04:26 |
| hkrug1 | Hmmmmmm | 04:26 |
| hkrug1 | maybe I shall boot a live cd and then check the contents of /etc/sudoers ? | 04:27 |
| ogra | did you try sudo -s or sudo -i ? | 04:27 |
| hkrug1 | ogra: not, tried them now: both do simply *nothing* | 04:28 |
| sbalneav | ogra: sudo doesn't have something dumb like a limit of 8 char usernames, does it? :( | 04:28 |
| ogra | nope | 04:28 |
| jsgotangco | doh it doesn't afaik | 04:28 |
| hkrug1 | if I remember correct: I already used the same username on an ubuntu box | 04:29 |
| hkrug1 | sudo worked then | 04:29 |
| sbalneav | ogra: what's up with the floppy? With a usb floppy you'll have to plug it in with the floppy already in the drive. | 04:29 |
| sbalneav | ogra: usb floppies are hopelessly ick. | 04:29 |
| sbalneav | boot with a live cd, and lets check the sudoers file. | 04:30 |
| hkrug1 | OK going to boot dapper | 04:30 |
| sbalneav | I can't see what might have gone wrong, everything look ok, and of course, we can't see the sudoers file without a sudo :( | 04:31 |
| hkrug1 | only sudoers can see sudoers | 04:31 |
| sbalneav | : | 04:31 |
| sbalneav | :) | 04:31 |
| hkrug1 | only sudoers and dapper drakes can see sudoers, lets see what the drake will tell use ;-) | 04:33 |
| hkrug1 | actually the drake has problems maybe with the sata raid | 04:38 |
| === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| hkrug1 | but the drake solved the problems | 04:40 |
| ogra | sbalneav: teh usbfloppy woud be fine if it would actually appear as a floppy with the udev line you gave me ;) we'll need to check for ID_TYPE instead | 04:40 |
| hkrug1 | sudoers: root ALL=(ALL) ALL | 04:40 |
| hkrug1 | thats all | 04:40 |
| hkrug1 | no very many sudoers out there in edubuntu 6.06.1 | 04:40 |
| sbalneav | ogra: ah, no, that udev lines for legacy floppies. | 04:40 |
| sbalneav | I didn't do anything for usb floppies. | 04:41 |
| ogra | sbalneav: i'd like to find a generic way .... | 04:41 |
| sbalneav | hkrug1: ok | 04:41 |
| ogra | ${ID_TYPE} seems the way to go | 04:41 |
| sbalneav | lets change it to: | 04:41 |
| sbalneav | hkrug1: add the following line: | 04:41 |
| sbalneav | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 04:41 |
| sbalneav | That means anyone in the admin group should get sudo access. | 04:42 |
| sbalneav | ogra: The problem with floppies is, ID_TYPE only gets set when the ^%(&@% disk's in the drive :( | 04:42 |
| ogra | how did that file end up like that ? did you ever open it without visudo ? | 04:42 |
| ogra | (never ever use a normal editor to edit it) | 04:43 |
| === jinty [n=jinty@221.Red-83-58-174.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| hkrug1 | I know but how to change sudoers ? chmod +w and afterwards chmod -w ? | 04:43 |
| ogra | hkrug1: sudo visudo | 04:43 |
| sbalneav | ogra: We had to special case usb floppies with the rule: KERNEL=="sd[a-z] ", SYSFS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", in "stock" ltsp. Which is gross. | 04:44 |
| hkrug1 | ls -l sudoers results in : -r--r------- | 04:44 |
| sbalneav | but it worked. | 04:44 |
| ogra | from a livecd: sudo chroot /root/where/you/mounted/the/HD | 04:44 |
| ogra | and then sudo visudo | 04:44 |
| ogra | sbalneav: sounds good | 04:44 |
| ogra | i first have to track a HW error that causes the kernel to create 7 devices for it :P | 04:45 |
| sbalneav | oh, yeah, that's ANOTHER problem with usb floppies :) | 04:45 |
| ogra | well, not with all of them apparently | 04:45 |
| sbalneav | floppies are the WORST thing ever. No media detection, bad standards, unreliable.... yechhh | 04:46 |
| ogra | and i guess we'll get a bunch of users that have more recent HW that even uses usb floppies | 04:46 |
| sbalneav | but, unfortunately, they're still used alot. | 04:46 |
| ogra | yep | 04:46 |
| === rodarvus [i=rodarvus@ubuntu/member/rodarvus] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| sbalneav | you'd probably want something like: | 04:47 |
| ogra | i think the idea of hving a permanent icon available is fine ... but we should also have the possibility to use usb floppies ... | 04:47 |
| sbalneav | ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z] ", SYSFS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", SYMLINK+="floppy", RUN+=that bit I sent you. | 04:48 |
| sbalneav | You at the sprint? Talked to pitti at all? | 04:49 |
| sbalneav | I haven't heard anything back on the latest iteration of lbmount. | 04:49 |
| jsgotangco | goodnight | 04:49 |
| sbalneav | So, he's either not looked at it, or I've so completely floored him with my stunning code prowess that I've left him speechless. | 04:50 |
| ogra | sbalneav: well, pitti is rather busy, but we'll find some time to talk | 04:50 |
| sbalneav | I'm assuming it's the first choice :) | 04:50 |
| ogra | i talked to colin though, and he'll look again into the ssh cipher=none stuff but the suggestion came up to rather use xdmcp with kerberos enabled for the people having performance issues | 04:51 |
| hkrug1 | OK, it probably will work now. Shall I report this as a bug ? | 04:53 |
| hkrug1 | Thanks for your help! | 04:53 |
| sbalneav | :( that makes localdev go away though. At least the way we did it. I can put some thought to it. Jammcq and I had a conversation last night. I know you're busy with the sprint, I'll send you an email later tonight. Bottom line: lets park that option until edgy+1/upstream/september ltsp hackathon. | 04:53 |
| ogra | hkrug1: how did the file end up that way ? | 04:53 |
| sbalneav | It seemed to be that way right from the install. | 04:54 |
| sbalneav | I've never seen it before. | 04:54 |
| hkrug1 | yes it was right after the install | 04:54 |
| ogra | sbalneav: well, you cant have everything, as i understood you that ssh cipher stuff is only an issue with very low specced HW ... | 04:54 |
| ogra | i wouldnt want the localdev overhead there anyway | 04:55 |
| sbalneav | It'd be interesting (if you have time) to re-do the install, keeping careful note of installation prompts and answers, and see if it does it a second time. If it does, it'd be handy to file a bug, yes. | 04:55 |
| sbalneav | Sorry, that last one was for hkrug1 | 04:56 |
| hkrug1 | there was almost no installation prompt - it was all quite smooth | 04:56 |

| sbalneav | How about the double-icon piece? | 06:12 |
| ogra | thats scheduled for tomorrow | 06:14 |
| ogra | it happens with floppies as well btw :) | 06:14 |
| ogra | we'll target it together with the "only owner shall see devices" bug :) | 06:15 |

| sbalneav | Why can't you use xchat | 06:16 |

| ogra | we're connected via a 2M stadard dsl line and have only one wireless uplink ... took us until this afternoon to get that even working | 06:18 |
| ogra | i.e. building a kind of a wireless bridge | 06:18 |
| ogra | but it had the advantage that i had to buy the wlan card we needed for that and they had this usb floppy as special offer ;) | 06:19 |
| sbalneav | ouch. Hackfest with no internet access :) | 06:19 |
