[12:15] are there no forums for edubuntu? [12:20] cbx33, poke? [12:20] TeePOG, just use ubuntu forums [12:20] pygi, ouch [12:21] cbx33, thank you also ^_^ (/me just read the planet) [12:21] heh [12:21] np [12:22] pygi: 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 forums [12:22] TeePOG, heh, poke the people :) [12:23] yah [12:23] TeePOG, as cbx33 told: tell them: somebody will "shoot you down" [12:23] cbx33, :)))) [12:23] all i need is to hear about the terminal server [12:23] pygi, hehehe [12:23] and the ltsp.org people are no help, the ubuntu ltsp "isn't a standard implementation" [12:24] TeePOG, muecow :) [12:24] mmmkay thanks pygi, i seem to have missed that... is that what the ubuntu ltsp is called? [12:24] TeePOG, that's just implementation, not "ubuntu ltsp" [12:25] ah [12:25] shorthand [12:25] sorry [12:25] grrrr [12:25] gconf is still playing me around [12:27] cbx33, you'll learn :) [12:27] yeh [12:27] I have to learn before thursday [12:35] cbx33, :) [12:35] sbalneav, poke you again? :) [12:35] grrr [12:35] where the hell is it picking these settings up from [12:36] pygi: Hello [12:37] sbalneav, so I left before...but once we get that iscsi stuff we could start writing the spec [12:37] Well, most of the iSCSI stuff I've found so far talks about the kernel talking to an iSCSI device. [12:38] I haven't as yet found a userspace lib that allows a program to behave like an iSCSI device. [12:39] sbalneav, ahm, so that means we would need to develop it? [12:43] :) 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] It's a pretty esoteric thing to do. [12:44] ahm :P [12:45] if we'll go to implement this in edgy+1 then we'll use stable 2.x series [12:45] in edgy+2 we'll use unstable 0.3.x series [12:45] ergh, I meant 0.2.x series in first sentence :) [12:48] 0.3.x will feature dvd support, -tao, and -multi I hope === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #edubuntu === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #edubuntu [01:02] hi Amaranth === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #edubuntu [01:18] don't say my name! :/ [01:18] it made xchat-gnome freeze [01:18] Amaranth, lol [01:18] eek [01:18] oh, i'm still here [01:19] sorry [01:19] :-) [01:19] hehe [01:19] age of empires 2 distracted me from my willowng hacking [01:20] i've got customizable error messages now :) [01:20] do you have a working package then?

[05:45] nai: you will probably have better luck on #ubuntu [05:45] nai: what driver are you installing? [05:47] for my lancard , the edubuntu os is in my laptop [05:48] yeah, I don't have any experience there [05:48] #ubuntu has a lot more people so for generic questions like that you are probably better off asking there [05:48] i mean i jsut want make my internet work [05:54] nai: What kind of lan card? [05:54] Evening LaserJock [05:56] hi sbalneav [05:56] pcmcia [05:56] the brand is xircom 16bit ethernet + 56 modem [05:57] What happens when you plug it in? Do you get any kind of message at all? [05:57] none.... but i know for sure it works fine because i have windowsxp in that machine and it works [05:59] Can you see if you have the pcmcia-cs and pcmciautils packages loaded? [05:59] Perhaps the laptop isn't listening to the cardbus [06:00] where should i check if those packages are loaded? in synaptic [06:00] Yes, in synaptic [06:02] yes 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 [06:03] Well, lo is the loopback, it's always there. [06:03] Can you check the output of dmesg? [06:03] sudo dmesg [06:03] in a terminal [06:04] that should tell us if the kernel's detecting the insert [06:06] i saw one.... pccard:PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 [06:07] ok, so it sees the card [06:07] try this: sudo ifconfig -a [06:07] do you get an "eth0" entry? [06:08] no, lo and sit0 [06:11] well when i go to device manager it can see my card but it says unknown manufacturer [06:11] Hmm, have you activated it? [06:12] what do yoiu mean? [06:13] well, 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] Sorry, Activate [06:14] well 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 numbers [06:15] would installign a driver do the job? [06:15] Oh, ok, sorry, I thought you meant it was in the device section of the network manager. [06:15] oh no, in device manager. jsut liek the one in win dows where it lists all the devices [06:15] nai: Well, it's unlikely it came shipped with a linux driver. [06:16] i manage to download a driver from intels site [06:16] its in tar how do i install it [06:16] I 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. [06:17] i find it weird but i used kubuntu in that same machine and it worked without me even trying to do anything [06:18] its a xircom realport ethernet+modem56 REM56G-10 [06:18] ah [06:18] ok [06:19] So, can you boot kubuntu? That will tell us what driver it's loading. [06:19] Then we just need to sort out why the same driver doesn't get loaded in edubuntu. [06:19] Err... you're not using an Edgy Eft version of edubuntu, are you? [06:20] no i had it uninstalled. because i opt for edubuntu for my little sister [06:20] edgy eft? how do i determine this? [06:23] ok i have a quesiton what if i uninstall edubuntu and replace it with kubuntu instead? can i still install gcompris in kubuntu? [06:25] yeah, the programs all come from the same software repository [06:25] so you can install Kubuntu and then install gcompris [06:25] however, you will also have to install some libraries [06:26] well i gues that would be a lot better than no connectivity at all [06:27] i find it hard to trouble shoot since i do not have the technical know how [06:27] anyway will my partitions windows ones be mounted automatically by kubuntu? === caravena [n=caravena@145-55-223-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu [06:29] I'm not positive about that but it is pretty easy to set up (easier than what you are doing now) [06:30] Hmm, sorry, was away for a bit.
