LaserJockAmaranth: how'd the willowng testing go?07:15
Amaranthas far as i can see everything but error pages works07:15
Amaranthbut firefox does not honor gconf proxy settings07:16
LaserJockyeah, I'm wondering what to do on the KDE side07:16
LaserJockI don't use KDE very much so I'm not very familiar how it would work07:17
LaserJockI was able to figure out where it stored the proxy settings for konqueror07:17
Burgundaviafor the menu stuff?07:17
BurgundaviaKDE uses the same menu07:18
LaserJockwillowng07:18
Burgundaviaugh07:18
Burgundaviathat is another thing: like the lockdown keys, that needs to be freedesktop-ed07:18
LaserJockmhm07:18
LaserJockit really would be nice to have a common place for common things07:19
Amarantheverything i can find says to use iptables to do transparent proxying07:19
LaserJockAmaranth: yeah, that's what I was going to try to look at07:19
Amaranthi was told not to do it07:19

LaserJockhmm, perhaps07:20
Burgundaviahe asked Chris during the final wrapup07:21
Burgundaviaafter Chris said what Canonical was doing07:21
Amaranthhttp://in-cider.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1F17474AB1F2CE52!338.entry <--w00t07:21
Amaranthhacky but i'll take it07:22
LaserJockBurgundavia: yeah?07:22
Burgundaviayou want it to automatically change the proxy info for the browser, without having to manually change the browser?07:22
Amaranthperhaps i can get whoever takes care of firefox to setup part of that for me07:22
Amaranthso i only need to add/remove things from the prefcalls.js file07:23
AmaranthBurgundavia: yeah07:23
Amaranthbasically it looks like the plan now is to set debconf and gconf proxy settings, do that firefox hack, then use iptables to block access to port 80 for everyone but willowng07:23
Burgundaviathat is a major hack07:24
Amaranthyep07:24
Burgundaviaapps should honour the HTTP_PROXY ENV variable07:24
Amaranthshould07:25
Amaranthi'll set that one too, thanks07:25
LaserJockthat iptables bit is also difficult07:26

LaserJockwhat? really?07:33
LaserJockhaha07:33
LaserJockah Gentoo, I miss those days sometimes07:33
Burgundavianever did that crack and thus I have never "missed" it07:34
highvoltageheh07:34
LaserJockit really is a nice distro07:34
LaserJockbut it is different07:34
highvoltageI used to miss Gentoo, I installed it a few weeks ago (just to try the new GUI installer), and found that I wasn't really missing /that/ much.07:34
LaserJockit's how I got started on Linux07:34
highvoltageLaserJock: probably a sentimental thing then :)07:35
LaserJocksorta07:35
highvoltagei liked that i could leave my computer overnight to compile things07:35
highvoltageit gave me a feeling that my computer was working while I was sleeping07:35
highvoltagewhich made me feel more productive :)07:36
LaserJockbut debian/ubuntu is the only thing that has matched it in terms of having all the software I need07:36
LaserJockheh07:36
Burgundaviathat is utter crack, you realize that07:37
highvoltagethat's what pulled me to debian as well. I didn't have to download and compile anything when I started using debian. and testing and unstable always had (or at least has) very new versions of all the software available.07:37
LaserJockBurgundavia: not for me anyway07:37
LaserJockor were you talking to highvoltage07:37
Burgundaviahighvoltage: 07:37
highvoltagebefore debian I used to use slackware and SuSE, it's been ages since I used them now.07:37

LaserJockand I tried to get into Debian a couple times07:45

pygithe clients can hold their own settings in /etc and load kernel modules as they please, dont they? so just connecting to the initiator via TCP should do I suppose?01:35

pygiogra: the node name doesn't change as long as the device description/MAC address of the target doesn't change! so it's really easily scriptable to log on, no need to access the initiator over ssh to do it, right?01:49
ograwell, safety probably01:50
pygiahm, I get it, so we want the ssh trigger01:50
ograif you trigger the session side at the moment where you detect an empty CD for example01:50

cbx33anyone know why I can't login to my ltsp02:22
cbx33i just get booted back to login scree nagain02:22
nahojserious question: how difficult is it for a "windows-only"-sys admin to install and administrate ubuntu on a school-network? there is about 16 computers for students and 10 for teachers, on top of that we are going to have a separate network for students rooms, connected to internet only. any thoughts of how hard this would be? is edubuntu the best choice for this task?02:23
ogracbx33, run ltsp-update-sshkeys ? 02:23
ograis the sshd running ? 02:23
cbx33ok will check02:23
cbx33thanks02:23
ogralook in ~/.xsession-errors of the user if both is true02:23
jsgotangconahoj: if you're going to make use of an LTSP Server/client setup, you're just maintaining one machine02:24
cbx33sorry ogra sshd isnt running02:26
nahojjsgotangco, ok, I am not sure what LTSP Server/client setup is, but the "just maintaining on machine" part sounds interesting... =)02:26
cbx33it isn;'t even installed02:26
cbx33:S02:26
cbx33this is from the knot 2 cd02:26
jsgotangconahoj: basically you have one server, and all your client computers boot from the network to that LTSP server02:26
jsgotangconahoj: your client computers don't even need to have a hard drive, just make sure you take care of your server and have a fast ethernet network02:27
nahojjsgotangco, in other words, that requires a pretty strong server?02:27
jsgotangcoyep02:27
ogracbx33, as i said, there is a bug with edubuntu-server02:27
cbx33ah02:27
nahojI don't think that's the case in our school, jsgotangco 02:27
ograbest install it from the net, then you also get some fixes ;)02:27
jsgotangcowell you could always install edubuntu as a standalone machine02:28
cbx33ok I'll install id02:28
nahojjsgotangco, as it is now we have separate windows-installations working on their own, just connected to a file server... (if I have understood the thing correctly)02:28
jsgotangcoyeah thats the usual setup02:29
nahojwould edubuntu be a good choice to replace this? or does it require a server as in the example above?02:31
jsgotangcoit can run on its own02:31
jsgotangcothe model you mentioned is a basic file server setup02:31
jsgotangcoone server has all the files02:31
jsgotangcothe computers save their files on the server02:31
jsgotangcowhat you can do even is have a linux server as your file server and have these windows machines talk to that server they wouldn't even know its a linux server02:32
nahojis the documentation written for "linux-admins" only? or could a windows-admin follow it easily?02:36
jsgotangcohmmm02:36
jsgotangcowhile we do have documentation for ubuntu, the other applications have their own and they can be pretty terse02:37
pyginahoj, we have the edubuntu cookbook :)02:37
nahojpygi, what? =p02:37
ogranahoj, try the installatin instructions, would a win admin be able to install with them ? https://www.edubuntu.org/gettingstarted02:37
jsgotangconahoj: i think any win admin able to install a windows server with its text only installation can easily do a linux installation nowadays02:38
nahojogra, yes ty. I am just reading them, and for me who is somewhat comfortable in linux they seem pretty easy...02:39
jsgotangcoi consider them adept enough to dig between trenches02:39
nahojthx for your help, i probably get back... ;-)02:42
pygiogra, can this be of any help:02:50

TeePOGhow do i make other usernames work over ltsp?03:20
acesuaresno shell ?03:20
ogradid you install sabayon ? 03:20
ograit requires a profile for every user, else it wont allow ltsp logins03:20
TeePOGsabayon? nope...03:20
TeePOGis that a manager for ltsp?03:20
ograa profile manager for gnome03:21
ogracan the users log in locally on the server ? 03:21
TeePOGwell, we use kde... it's been requested03:21
acesuaresI made the mistake to make all users have shell /bin/false, for safety... that didn't work :_)03:22
TeePOGwill it not work if i have gtk and libgnome installed?03:22
acesuaresTeePOG: can the users log in locally on the server ?? I use kde too.03:22
ograright, /bin/false wouldnt work03:22
ograTeePOG, test if the users can log in on the server directly03:23
acesuaresogra: but now they can ssh into the server... bad.... need to find something for that !?03:23
ograi suspect there is rather somethig wrong with te accounts not with ltsp03:23
acesuaresesepcially if teepog made the accounts with kuser03:23
acesuaresthey won't get a lot of proper groups03:23
ograas long as they get a homedir it should be fine ...03:24
acesuareslike hey don't get any groups execpet themselves (no 'video', 'dip' etc etc03:24
ograi have no clue about KDE tools03:24
acesuaresgood for you :-)03:24
TeePOGdamn, it's not a happy username... the session died... so it's the way the user was created?03:24
acesuaresdo 'id username' and see what groups it is in03:25
acesuaresin a terminal of course.03:25
ograand check that a dir for hi in /home exists03:25
ogra*him03:25
acesuaresor her03:25
TeePOGuid=1001(cellshop) gid=500(cellshop) groups=500(cellshop),4(adm),24(cdrom),30(dip),60(games)03:25
TeePOGyes, there is a dir in /home03:26
acesuareslooks reasonable03:26
ogra500 doesnt ? 03:26
ograubuntu user groups usually start at 100003:26
acesuaresin a terminal, try 'login' and user the username and password see if you can get a prompt.03:26
ogradunno if kubuntu handles that differently03:26
ograalso look in the users .xsession-errors file in his homedir03:27
ograit should sho session errors03:27
TeePOGfor 'login', i get: No utmp entry.  You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"03:27
ogra*show03:27
acesuaressecond user gets 1001, groups should in kde alos start with 1000 or so03:28
ograyep03:28
ogra1000 is the admin user ... 03:28
ogranew users should get higher ids03:28
ograbut it wont break through the 500 i think ...03:28
acesuaresyou can't login with that user03:28
ograits just a bit strange03:28
acesuaresyeah the 500 is strange but shouldn't break.03:29
acesuaresDid you try 'adduser' to create a user from a terminal ?03:29
acesuaresor kuser from the graphical interface ?03:29
TeePOGi used kuser... let me try the console way and get back03:29
acesuaresokay.03:29
TeePOGi see this is not a happy login03:30
acesuaresunhappy logins tend to fail in ubuntu :-)03:30
TeePOGok, now 'id cellshop' gives me: uid=1001(cellshop) gid=1001(cellshop) groups=1001(cellshop)03:33
ogracan you log in ? 03:33
acesuaresthat's better but the many other groups are missing, like audio etc etc03:33
TeePOGon the way to try that03:33
acesuaresbut try to login through the terminal first, then X, then LTSP03:33
TeePOGdoesn't work on the terminal... the login command sends an error: No utmp entry.  You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"03:34

RichEdhave to go out  ... back in 30 ... was there a EC decision ? someone msg me please04:10
TeePOGwhat is the ubuntu pastebin? there is a .nl one iirc04:10
RichEdthanks ... lost my adsl at the end of the meeting04:10
ograRichEd, no EC decision 04:11
ogra(there was nothing to decide)04:11
ograTeePOG, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/04:11
cbx33RichEd: 04:12
cbx33you still here04:12
cbx33we'll have to postpone meeting04:12
TeePOGthanks ogra, found it already04:12
TeePOGwhat? that pastebin says "No text given and no image uploaded" three times now04:14
=== TeePOG is starting to wonder if this is worth tinkering with, or to just reinstall the box
ograi got it open now04:15
ograbut as i said the Xorg log isnt really relevant 04:16
cbx33ogra: blog prepared, and primed04:17
ograyay04:17
ograTeePOG, you can try if its a KDE prob with setting the default: 04:18
ograsudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager04:18
TeePOGyes?04:18
ograthen select gnome ( you can revert it later)04:18
ograand try again ...04:18
TeePOGyes, will do04:18
TeePOGbrb04:18
ograthere is an Xsession etry in your .xsession-errors, so i doubt its X itself that has probs04:19
ograsbalneav, how good is your awk-fu ? 04:19
ograor better do you know about awk replacements ? 04:20
sbalneavMy awk-fu is primo04:20
=== ogra needs to replace all awk calls in that script http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/netscript
ograthe installer doesnt have awk :(04:20
sbalneavWhat do you want it replaced with?04:21
sbalneavSed?04:21
ograsomething the installer has :P04:21
ogrased should be there04:21
astecpI'm good at eliminating awk from scripts, lemme have a look :)04:21
sbalneavUmmm... And what does the installed have? :):):)04:21
astecptextutils04:21
sbalneavIs it dash, or bash?04:21
ograsbalneav, if i only knew :)04:21
ogradash04:21
ograor even ash04:21
ograits the tiniest shell we have ...04:22
TeePOGit still does the same, the login screen goes black, then returns to login screen04:23
ograhmm. weird04:23
ograsbalneav, sed is there04:23
TeePOGi think i should just reinstall and try again04:23
astecpDEFAULT_IFACE=$(route -n|grep ^0|sed -e 's/.* //')04:23
astecp^ nice 'n' easy for the first one04:23
TeePOGno sleep for the weakened ^.^04:24
ograastecp, looks fine :)04:24
ograthanks !04:24
ograTeePOG, well, a reinstall shuld take you less than 2h even with installing KDE afterwards 04:26
astecpIFACE_LIST=$(cat /proc/net/dev|sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/:.*//'|grep -Ev '(\||lo|sit)')04:26
ogradepends how much you want to tweak 04:26
ograastecp, sexy !04:26
ogratanks a lot !04:26
TeePOGyes ogra, i think that's the path of least resistance04:26
astecpogra: awk is one of my pet hates. There's almost *always* a neater way :-)04:27
ograright ...04:27
ograawk is what i know without reading much docs :)04:27
cbx33ogra: heheh04:27
ograso i'm quicker with it than trying out sed strings :)04:27

mhzohhh, BTW...09:37
mhzI could only rescue my HD by using it as a USB HD plugged to the desktop09:38
pygi?09:38
mhzso, when I re-installed Edubuntu server, the system considers the NICs from desktop, and when I use the HD in the laptop, it then uses eth2 and ath1, instead of real eth0 and ath0. Any ideas how I can fix that?09:39

swhalenHello, I'm new here and I have ssome questions. Any help?10:47
Burgworkswhalen, what do you need?10:48
swhalenwell id like to use Diskless Thin Client Booting but I dont have a powerful enough computer to use as a server10:50
swhalenis there any other way to distribute packages/updates10:51
ogra_you dont need a powerful computer for booting ... the amount of power the server needs depends completely on the desktop environment you use10:51
LaserJockogra_: did you see my question hrs ago about wether to create system or user groups for the menus?10:52
ogra_what do we gain by having them as system groups ?10:53
swhalen"Install to hard disk", will install a terminal server. Use this option if you'd like to boot from diskless thin clients into this machine. Note that a terminal server requires at least 150MB RAM per client that will be logging into this server. The server will also need a powerful CPU, such as an Intel Xeon processor. To install a terminal server, simply press ENTER here.10:54
swhalenits in the geting started docs10:54
ogra_yes10:55
ogra_and its true for a default edubuntu10:55
ogra_but you can tweak it ... i.e. use xfce instead of gnome10:55
ogra_xfce as desktop will be fine with < 100MB10:56
LaserJockogra_: well, I didn't know if there was a policy that packages needed to do system groups10:57
LaserJockogra_: so that the user groups are just created by the user/admin10:57
ogra_how would you create usergroups without users ` 10:57
ogra_?10:57
LaserJockhmm10:58
ogra_just make them system groups 10:58
LaserJockthe only reason I thought about not doing system groups is I think they aren't viewable by default in the GUI user interface10:59
ogra_right10:59
ogra_there is an xml config but i have no idea how to add stuff dynamically10:59
swhalenhow much space does a workspace install use?10:59
LaserJockogra_: I'll just go for system for now10:59
ogra_(i patched gnome-system-tools for the ltsp localdev group)11:00

LaserJockDescription: group-driven menus for Edubuntu12:01
LaserJock This package installs various menus that are mapped to user groups so that12:01
LaserJock when a user is added to one of these groups their menu correspondingly changes.12:01
LaserJockyuck, that sounds terrible :(12:01
Burgworkinstalls different menus for different use cases. These menus are mapped to specific user gruops12:10
