TeePOGare there no forums for edubuntu?12:15
pygicbx33, poke?12:20
pygiTeePOG, just use ubuntu forums12:20
cbx33pygi, ouch12:20
pygicbx33, thank you also ^_^ (/me just read the planet)12:21
cbx33heh12:21
cbx33np12:21
TeePOGpygi: all it says is "there will be an edubuntu forum when Dapper releases"... I've been using dapper since 2 days after release and still no forums12:22
pygiTeePOG, heh, poke the people :)12:22
TeePOGyah12:23
pygiTeePOG, as cbx33 told: tell them: somebody will "shoot you down"12:23
pygicbx33, :))))12:23
TeePOGall i need is to hear about the terminal server12:23
cbx33pygi, hehehe12:23
TeePOGand the ltsp.org people are no help, the ubuntu ltsp "isn't a standard implementation"12:23
pygiTeePOG, muecow :)12:24
TeePOGmmmkay thanks pygi, i seem to have missed that... is that what the ubuntu ltsp is called?12:24
pygiTeePOG, that's just implementation, not "ubuntu ltsp"12:24
TeePOGah12:25
TeePOGshorthand12:25
TeePOGsorry12:25
cbx33grrrr12:25
cbx33gconf is still playing me around12:25
pygicbx33, you'll learn :)12:27
cbx33yeh12:27
cbx33I have to learn before thursday12:27
pygicbx33, :)12:35
pygisbalneav, poke you again? :)12:35
cbx33grrr12:35
cbx33where the hell is it picking these settings up from12:35
sbalneavpygi: Hello12:36
pygisbalneav, so I left before...but once we get that iscsi stuff we could start writing the spec12:37
sbalneavWell, most of the iSCSI stuff I've found so far talks about the kernel talking to an iSCSI device.12:37
sbalneavI haven't as yet found a userspace lib that allows a program to behave like an iSCSI device.12:38
pygisbalneav, ahm, so that means we would need to develop it?12:39
sbalneav:) Well, "other" cd recording packages had it.  I'm sure there's got to be some sort of something out there that can do it, or at least a spec to see if it can be implemented.12:43
sbalneavIt's a pretty esoteric thing to do.12:43
pygiahm :P12:44
pygiif we'll go to implement this in edgy+1 then we'll use stable 2.x series12:45
pygiin edgy+2 we'll use unstable 0.3.x series12:45
pygiergh, I meant 0.2.x series in first sentence :)12:45
pygi0.3.x will feature dvd support, -tao, and -multi I hope12:48

=== rodarvus [n=rodarvus@ubuntu/member/rodarvus] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockhlabs: I'd guess by installing an ftp server :-)01:57
hlabsyeah but which one01:57
hlabsit compatible with edu01:57
LaserJockI don't think it would really matter01:59
hlabscan you suggest a ftp server. I want something gui that i easy to setup01:59
LaserJockI really don't know, let me check something real quick02:00
LaserJockhlabs: maybe try vsftpd02:05
hlabsok i installed it02:06
hlabsbut it doesnt show up in the app menu02:06
hlabswhy is that02:06
hlabsso02:06
LaserJockwell, it's a server02:06
LaserJockservers don't show up in the menu02:06
hlabsso how can i configure it02:07
hlabsi see no GUI02:07
LaserJocklook at /etc/vstfpd.conf02:07
hlabsis there a GUI for this02:08
LaserJockno02:09
LaserJockI don't know of any GUI for ftp servers02:09
LaserJockI think vsftpd should be pretty easy to configure though02:09
hlabsi cant seem to configure this contraption02:11
hlabshow can i solve this problem, Cant write the new proftpd.conf here:02:13
hlabs /etc/proftpd.conf 02:13
hlabsRun GProFTPD as root02:13
LaserJockyou need to put sudo in front of what you are doing02:14
LaserJockyou want to do proftpd instead of vsftpd?02:14
hlabssee Gproftpd is a gui software. Its showing up in my app menu. But it says run as root02:15
hlabshow can i do that02:15
LaserJockin a terminal run "sudo gproftpd"02:15
hlabswhats the command02:16
LaserJockfor what?02:17
LaserJockto get a terminal?02:17
hlabs no no i mean inside the terminal02:18
hlabsi type up sudo Gproftpd and there is an error02:18
LaserJock"sudo gproftpd"02:18
hlabsthis is the error that i get now. (gproftpd:17441): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:02:19
LaserJockhmm, try "gksudo gproftpd" instead02:21
LaserJocksorry, I'm not on my edubuntu machine so I might make a couple mistakes :-)02:21
hlabssame error again. (gksudo:17640): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:02:22
LaserJockare you doing that on the machine you are currently on?02:22
hlabsyup02:23

naihi new to linux anyone can show me how to install a driver package in tar?05:43
LaserJocknai: you will probably have better luck on #ubuntu05:45
LaserJocknai: what driver are you installing?05:45
naifor my lancard , the edubuntu os is in my laptop 05:47
LaserJockyeah, I don't have any experience there05:48
LaserJock#ubuntu has a lot more people so for generic questions like that you are probably better off asking there05:48
naii mean i jsut want make my internet work05:48
sbalneavnai: What kind of lan card?05:54
sbalneavEvening LaserJock05:54
LaserJockhi sbalneav05:56
naipcmcia05:56
naithe brand is xircom 16bit ethernet + 56 modem05:56
sbalneavWhat happens when you plug it in?  Do you get any kind of message at all?05:57
nainone.... but i know for sure it works fine because i have windowsxp in that machine and it works05:57
sbalneavCan you see if you have the pcmcia-cs and pcmciautils packages loaded?05:59
sbalneavPerhaps the laptop isn't listening to the cardbus05:59
naiwhere should i check if those packages are loaded? in synaptic06:00
sbalneavYes, in synaptic06:00
naiyes it is loaded....i just find it weird...in administration>networking> the modem the dial up one is detectec butnot the ethernet. and it is named lo 06:02
sbalneavWell, lo is the loopback, it's always there.06:03
sbalneavCan you check the output of dmesg?06:03
sbalneavsudo dmesg06:03
sbalneavin a terminal06:03
sbalneavthat should tell us if the kernel's detecting the insert06:04
naii saw one.... pccard:PCMCIA card inserted into slot 006:06
sbalneavok, so it sees the card06:07
sbalneavtry this: sudo ifconfig -a06:07
sbalneavdo you get an "eth0" entry?06:07
naino, lo and sit006:08
naiwell when i go to device manager it can see my card but it says unknown manufacturer06:11
sbalneavHmm, have you activated it?06:11
naiwhat do yoiu mean? 06:12
sbalneavwell, in the Networking manager, if the card is listed, have you Clicked on it to highlight it, then clicked on the "Activiate" button on the right hand side?06:13
sbalneavSorry, Activate06:13
naiwell in the networking manager, the only visible object there is thje modem ppp0 not the ether net card, i think it is for dialup beacause its asking for dial numbers06:14
naiwould installign a driver do the job?06:15
sbalneavOh, ok, sorry, I thought you meant it was in the device section of the network manager.06:15
naioh no, in device manager. jsut liek the one in win dows where it lists all the devices06:15
sbalneavnai: Well, it's unlikely it came shipped with a linux driver.06:15
naii manage to download a driver from intels site06:16
naiits in tar how do i install it06:16
sbalneavI can't seem to find any information about this card, or what driver it's supposed to use.  I don't suppose you could tell me the model number.06:16
naii find it weird but i used kubuntu in that same machine and it worked without me even trying to do anything06:17
naiits a xircom realport ethernet+modem56 REM56G-1006:18
sbalneavah06:18
sbalneavok06:18
sbalneavSo, can you boot kubuntu?   That will tell us what driver it's loading. 06:19
sbalneavThen we just need to sort out why the same driver doesn't get loaded in edubuntu.06:19
sbalneavErr... you're not using an Edgy Eft version of edubuntu, are you?06:19
naino i had it uninstalled. because i opt for edubuntu for my little sister06:20
naiedgy eft? how do i determine this?06:20
naiok i have a quesiton what if i uninstall edubuntu and replace it with kubuntu instead? can i still install gcompris in kubuntu?06:23
LaserJockyeah, the programs all come from the same software repository06:25
LaserJockso you can install Kubuntu and then install gcompris06:25
LaserJockhowever, you will also have to install some libraries06:25
naiwell i gues that would be a lot better than no connectivity at all06:26
naii find it hard to trouble shoot since i do not have the technical know how06:27
naianyway will my partitions windows ones be mounted automatically by kubuntu?06:27

RichEdWell count yourselves lucky : We have (real world example) a Biology Teacher who is also Lab Admin, who needs to run after school sports, fetch his own kids from a different school, and get back for evening school meals because he is a House Father in the hostel.11:22

cbx33I wondered how that would effect you pygi 12:51
pygihighvoltage, well, they'll include libburn in repositories, yes12:51
pygithe problem is that libburn umbrella project (libburn, libisofs, genisofs, cdrskin) will not be able to completely replace cdrecord in three months, and they need it for their release12:52

capt_kirkogra: would you like me to post a bug report for tracking the usplash problem on the thin clients, or do you already have it on your tracker?  I've written a short note next to the test computers for the users to know how to get around the problem, but it makes it hard to sell the the Dean as the best solution for our upcoming purchase.  Thanks.03:45

lucasvosbalneav: I need real thin clients07:56

lucasvothe don't have to be cheap07:57
Petarislucasvo: Thin clients or dumb clients?08:00
Petaristhere is a difference after all08:00
Petarisfor my dumb clients I go to SolarPC08:00
Petarisnice boxes and very easy to work with08:01
lucasvoPetaris: something like the clients on disklessworkstations.com08:04
sbalneavlucasvo: If the ones on disklessworkstations.com are what you want, why not order from them? :) Proceeds go to support LTSP related activities!08:14
highvoltagehi there sbalneav, Petaris, lucasvo and Burgwork 08:15
sbalneavAfternoon, highvoltage 08:15
highvoltagesbalneav: do you have a gdm setup in meucow at the moment?08:16
sbalneavYup, we're running on one right now in the training room08:16
sbalneavUbuntu's muekow, but using gdm.08:16
PetarisHi highvoltage 08:16
Burgworkhey highvoltage 08:17
highvoltagenice08:17
highvoltagesbalneav: do you have local apps on meukow?08:17
Petarislucasvo: To my knowlage the diskless workstations clients are dumb clients (ie, no embeded os)08:17
sbalneavPretty easy: enable [xdmcp]  on the server, and just create an lts.conf that looks like the following:08:17
highvoltagesbalneav: i got it working too, which is why I asked :)08:18
highvoltageI also had to add /var/lib/gdm to the rw_dirs08:18
sbalneavAh, perfect.08:18
ograaha the conservatives 08:18
sbalneavOh, you're running gdm ON THE CLIENT?  No, I'm not doing that08:18
ogra:)08:19
sbalneavI'm running SCREEN_07 = startx08:19
highvoltageah08:19
sbalneavand it xdmcp broadcasts08:19
highvoltagesbalneav: i remember you said something at the summit about giving a choice to the user of gdm or ssh08:20
highvoltageoic08:20
ograhighvoltage, there is one :)08:20
sbalneavYep, it's just not documented well.08:20
ograenable xdmcp in your gdm 08:20
sbalneavWe just really need to make a wiki page up to document the process.08:20
ograand add SCREEN_07 = startx to lts.conf ... as sbalneav wrote08:20
highvoltageogra: this is only applicable since edgy ltsp, right?08:21
=== highvoltage is just wondering for documentation purposes

ogra7 ?08:23
ogra9 you mean ...08:23

ograyou think he should go back to school ??08:25
ogralucasvo, the xubuntu cd has an ltsp mode  that installs everything ... but the guy in 58981 installed ltsp-utils from universe and ran ltspadmin 08:27

cbx33Amaranth, heheh11:38
cbx33Amaranth, I would test it out, but have a fair amount to do, I may get a chance later on11:40
BurgworkAmaranth, testing your filter? can do once I get home11:41
LaserJockAmaranth: yeah?11:41
cbx33hey guys11:42
cbx33I have a small python listening app included in SCP that needs to be run whenever a user logs in in X11:42
cbx33how would I achieve this...11:42
AmaranthLaserJock: I need a guinea pig to pull from bzr and test things. :)11:42
cbx33someone mentioned a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart11:42
Amaranthcbx33: that would work11:43
Burgworkcbx33, is this is a policy daemon?11:43
cbx33but would that apply to a non-interactive terminal type app11:43
cbx33policy daemon?11:43
cbx33it's a dbus listener11:43
Burgworkwhat does this app do?11:43
AmaranthLaserJock: I have not tried installing it, only running from current dir. So you'll be on the bleeding edge. :)11:43
cbx33basically Burgwork it listens to the system bus for messages addressed to it11:43
cbx33and acts on themin the users space11:44
cbx33like starting apps11:44
cbx33killing processes etc :p11:44
cbx33the user has no interaction with ti what so ever11:44
Burgworkright, the issue with running it int he users session is that kids will very quickly figure out they can screw teacher up by killing it11:44
cbx33Burgwork, I know that11:44
cbx33but for now this is the route we are goign down11:44
cbx33:p11:44
Burgworkany sort of policy enforcing apps need to be run at the system level11:44
cbx33edgy+1 will be much more enhanced11:45
cbx33Burgwork, I'm just filling the specs for SCP11:45
cbx33nothing more at the moment11:45
Burgworkok, no worries11:45
cbx33:p11:45
cbx33I had already thought of that11:45
cbx33and spoken with ogra about it11:45
Burgworkscp will only work on a thin client setup, right?11:46
cbx33um....yes and no :p11:46
cbx33parts of it will work on a normal setup with a tweak11:46
cbx33ie the killing/executing/lockdown aspects11:46
cbx33I think the logout is the only one which requires the LTSP setup11:46
Burgworkright11:47
cbx33so what do you suggest?11:47
cbx33for starting this app11:47
LaserJockAmaranth: I'll test it when I have a chance, got a lot of things going on at the moment :-)11:47
Burgwork.desktop autostart11:47
Burgworkthat is what gpm and nm-applet use11:47
cbx33ok11:48
cbx33but they both have like icons in the taskbar don't they?11:49
cbx33does that mak a difference?11:49
Burgworkdon't think so11:49
cbx33ok11:49
cbx33will try that11:49
