kgoetzhm. was that the right link though... *checks*05:16
LaserJockkgoetz: what do you mean by "cleaned"05:38
kgoetzsorry, was afk. i went to the page in the edubuntu wiki, which was blank, and didnt redirect me. then i went and looked a few minutes later, and i got that link, which is valid05:41

LaserJockman, this will never end06:45
kgoetzcan someone tell me how to remove all the ssh keys on the ltsp server+in the chroot? i'm having logging in issues, i'm wondering if its keys06:45
kgoetzi just sudo rm'ed the keys, and dpkg-reconfigued the server, not sure what going to happen now though :)06:55
highvoltagei think i's sudo update-ltsp-sshkeys07:07
LaserJockhi highvoltage 07:09
LaserJockisn't it a bit early for you?07:09
kgoetzthanks highvoltage , doesnt seem to have helped, i'll have to look for another reason :|07:10
highvoltageit's 07:09 atm07:10
highvoltageLaserJock: hi to you to :) isn't t a bit late for you on that side?07:10
LaserJock10:10 pm07:10
LaserJockstill dealing with Gallium fallout a bit07:11
highvoltagekgoetz: what happens when you trie to log in, does ldm just kick you out again?07:11
kgoetzhighvoltage: yes07:11
highvoltageyou might have to restart the thin client after running update-ltsp-sshkeys07:11
highvoltageLaserJock: eesh07:11
kgoetzand the only reference i found online so far is 'your on your own, go read some logs' :07:11
kgoetzi have, it didnt help :(07:12
LaserJockhighvoltage: there are 38+ comments on the Kalzium author's blog07:12
=== kgoetz debates re-crating teh chroot, perhaps it wil help :|
LaserJockhighvoltage: most of them fairly full of misinformation07:12
LaserJockbut I hopefully corrected the misinformation without fueling the fires ;-)07:13
highvoltagewhat's that link to the blog again? I'd like to catch up a bit07:13
LaserJockhttp://cniehaus.livejournal.com/07:14
kgoetzperhaps i should try a different client. it might be a conflict from teh server against the pc i plugged in - but why is beond me07:21
kgoetzcan ubuntus LTSP handle USB mice?07:23
=== kgoetz tries to think of x-error causes
highvoltagekgoetz: yes, they should work out of the bo07:24
highvoltagex07:24
kgoetzwell it cant be that then :|07:24
kgoetzi dotn have an lts.conf, so it cant be anything in there causing issues.07:25
highvoltageLaserJock: are you abandoning gallium based on their reaction?07:25
highvoltagekgoetz: does X also not want to start now?07:26
kgoetzhighvoltage: no, x still starts, its teh login thats stil the problem, sorry, i should watch how i say stuff07:26
LaserJockhighvoltage: not based on their reaction but based on a discussion between Travis, Pete, and I and the gchemutils developer07:27
=== kgoetz goes to try client again
LaserJockI didn't realize he already had been working on a periodic table app07:27
LaserJockalthough their reaction does make me wish I had never suggested gallium07:28
highvoltageok07:28
LaserJockI still believe we need a good set of Gnome chemistry apps07:28
LaserJockbut I believe gchemutils already has made good strides there07:29
LaserJockbut they have had a hard time getting into Debian/Ubuntu07:29
LaserJockanyway, having a problem with Gallium is one thing, attacking Edubuntu is taking it too far, IMO07:30
=== highvoltage agrees
LaserJockanyway, it's sort of a frustrating thing, but I guess that's FLOSS07:36

BurgundaviaLaserJock: I see a lot of people talking on that blog post and lots of strong reactions from some KDE fanbois07:45
=== kgoetz finishes reading blog, mutters 'get over it already', and closes tab
cbx33good good07:45
Burgundaviait is sad that you get fanbois of any stripe07:46
cbx33yes07:46
cbx33i wish it were over07:46
kgoetzanyone know what time ogra arives here?07:47
Burgundaviakgoetz: soonish07:47
Burgundaviaexcept it is Sunday there07:47
Burgundaviacbx33: and nobody even mentioned the real reason behind all of this: space savings07:47
kgoetzsunday here as well. only time i can do LTSP deplyments07:47
cbx33nope07:47
cbx33well07:47
cbx33LaserJock, did in the emal07:47
LaserJockwell, I'm sorta over it07:48
LaserJockI'd rather have gotten a positive experience out of this07:48
LaserJockbut I think we are better off helping gchemutils07:48
LaserJockit is 1 guy doing a lot of work07:49
Burgundaviayep07:49
LaserJockI'm still shocked that 1 sentence in a planet.u.c post could do so much07:49
highvoltageimho it sounded like a good idea from a technical viepoint to use the data from kalzium07:49
cbx33i know07:49
highvoltagebut if it's resulting in this much hostility then it's probably not worth while07:50
cbx33I was ..... gob smacked at it all last night07:50
LaserJockhighvoltage: yes, they wanted us to use more then just data07:50
Burgundaviacbx33: how hard was that wine stuff?07:50
LaserJockhighvoltage: and actually the data isn't particularly Kalzium's07:51
highvoltageit isn't?07:51
highvoltagegeez07:51
LaserJockit's part of a chemistry open standards, open data project07:51
LaserJockcalled Blue Obelisk07:51
LaserJockas I found out today ;-)07:51
highvoltageaaah07:52
LaserJockboth kalzium and gchemutils use it07:52
highvoltagewell that's great then07:52
cbx33Burgundavia, not hard at all07:52
Burgundaviacbx33: just need the latest wine stuff?07:53

=== kgoetz should probably get lunch while he waits for ogra , perhaps that would be a beter use of my time then simply chatting :)
cbx33it feels damn good to be able to say that07:58
kgoetzcbx33: i havent played CS for ~12, 18 months. that was the last time i ran windows on my desktop :)07:58
cbx33well i installed XP on my new machine07:58
=== highvoltage has been MS-free for 3 years now :)
kgoetzhighvoltage: :)wd07:59
cbx33but had no activations left07:59
highvoltage:)07:59
cbx33highvoltage, allright smarty pants ;)07:59
highvoltagebut I still use some proprietary software :/07:59
=== cbx33 was an avid gamer before I met you guys
=== kgoetz only used linux properly since ubuntu, then one day doze killed his ubuntu, so he removed doze :)
highvoltage(on some computers)07:59
cbx33highvoltage, I still use photoshop07:59
=== kgoetz uses binary drivers
=== cbx33 too
=== kgoetz washes hands clean
cbx33if GIMP would finally get adjustment layers I could get rid of photoshop too08:00
highvoltageI still us proprietary firmware, adobe flash plugin, and sun java runtime environment08:00
cbx33highvoltage, yup me too08:00
LaserJockah, he is human ;-)08:00
kgoetzhehe08:00
cbx33some things are still necessary I believe08:00
highvoltageon some PCs I am free of all of those, and I'm 100% OSS08:00
highvoltagebut for work I need to have flash and java :/08:01
LaserJockI need acrobat08:01
kgoetzhighvoltage: you recompile your kernel to remove firmware? ;)08:01
cbx33y?08:01
cbx33to write or read?08:01
LaserJockread08:01
LaserJockand fill out forms08:01
kgoetzif you dont your only 99.5% oss ;)08:01
highvoltagekgoetz: in ubuntu you can just remove the restricted kernel modules08:01
LaserJockgotta love universities and alll the forms08:01
cbx33ahhh08:02
cbx33you can't just prnt them out then ;)08:02
=== kgoetz installed adobe at work recently, hope the thign lets people edit pdfs
highvoltagekgoetz: ubuntu seperates te non-free and fee kernel modules, so you don't have to recompile08:02
kgoetzhighvoltage: kernel modules yes, binary firmware no08:02
kgoetzi should probably have kept that joke to myself :08:02

highvoltagemay the laser be with you08:07
Laser_awayheh08:08
cbx33As LaserJock said a lot of good has come out of this gallium business but why are there some people like that 08:10
cbx33it makes it hard on OSS communities08:10
kgoetzi was amused by some 'thats so not oss mentality' comments08:11
kgoetzwhen its probably mroe oss mentality then their own ;)08:11
cbx33This line really gets my goat "Now, this could just be a small group scratching their own itch and not really going anywhere, but the fact it is led by a member of the Edubuntu council does raise my eyebrows a little."08:13
cbx33argh08:13
cbx33silly people08:13
cbx33well I'm off out08:14

kgoetzcan i view the man pages of packages in ubuntu online?08:17
Burgundaviakgoetz: most of the man pages have not changed in decades and can be googled08:17

=== kgoetz dist-upgrades chroot
highvoltageit sound like some kind of authentication problem, but I can't imagine what could possibly cause it08:32
kgoetzbuger. i suppose i have to wait for ogra... and hope hes willing to help on his sundays :|08:32
highvoltagehe sometimes drops in on sundays, so it's quite possible08:33
=== kgoetz has today and tomorrow to get this place running :|.
kgoetzhence my worrying about lost time08:33
highvoltagewhat did you choose as IP address for the server?08:33
kgoetz192.168.0.208:34
highvoltagedoes it have more than one network card inside?08:34
kgoetzyes, but i dont remember off the top of my head if the 2nd is enabled. 'll check in a moment08:34
highvoltageperhaps you could try putting in an lts.conf file tha contains:08:34
highvoltage[default] 08:35
highvoltage  SERVER = 192.168.0.208:35
highvoltageI *think* that if it's not spesified it defaults to 192.168.0.254 for logins08:35
kgoetzwell, its wortha  shot :)08:35
kgoetzso etc/ltsp/lts.conf?08:36
highvoltagebut accordig to our documentation it shoudl just work like you have it too :)08:36
kgoetzit worked fine in testing, wont work in production - heard that before? ;)08:36
highvoltage/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf08:36
highvoltagekgoetz: all the time ;)08:36
kgoetz:D08:36
kgoetzi susepct the root of my problem is that i'm using existing infrastructure, and putting ltsp on top - not installinga  clean server, with ltsp08:37
kgoetzbrb. clients in another room08:38
highvoltagethat sometimes causes some problems, but if your clients boot as far as they currently are, then you've already overcome most of them, if not all08:39
kgoetzi agree, exept for the bit where its not working ;)08:40
kgoetzbrb. forgot [default]  in teh onfig file. try 208:40
kgoetzstill no love :( *goes to find list of options for lts.conf*08:43
kgoetzmy dhcp server gives the client in qustion ip 30 (because i asked it to), thats outside the standard dhcp range (60-75), is that ok?08:49
highvoltagethat should be fine08:49
kgoetzta08:50
highvoltagethis isn't something I've tested before..08:50
highvoltagebut can you give yourself a root account in the chroot, log in on the local workstation and test if you can ssh to the server as a normal user?08:50
kgoetzer, i'll check in a moment08:52
kgoetzbrb. testing08:53
kgoetzhm. i have ldm.log :)09:00

highvoltagehave you tried creating a new user and loggin in with that?09:03
kgoetzyeh, it failed (this was earlier in the day, fwiw)09:04
kgoetzyou any good at diagnosing ssh problems?09:05
=== kgoetz has the log, but isnt really sure wahth use it is :|
kgoetzperhaps tern on ssh logging on the server will give some info09:06

Zicoedubuntu i tried was the latest 03:51
ograhow does it fail ?03:51
Zicoinstall goes nicely until installing usplash...03:52
ogracan you file a bug and attach /var/log/installer/syslog to it ?03:52
Zicothen no progress03:52
ogra(make it world readable before)03:52
Zicohmm, haven't done filing bugs before.. i don't know linux very well03:53
Zicojust know that I've succesfully installed ubuntu on other computers03:53
Zicoi was wondering if there is some reason why it stops, and i could somehow skip that part03:53
Zicogoogle told something that usplash is some fancy thing, that is not necessary or something03:54
ograwe could find out why it stops with the log :)03:54
ograhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+filebug03:55
ograjust describe what happens (seems not edubuntu related if the problem shows up in ubuntu on the same machine)03:55
Zicoso can I use ctrl-alt-del and then use some live linux cd and find that syslog from hd?03:55
Zicoor should I get that syslog during install using alt-f2 and then something?03:56
ograthat should work, yes03:56

highvoltageglad to see you here though, the kalzium/gallium thing has caused some unhappiness on both sides. hopefully you can do something about it? :)05:59
carstenno clue :)06:00
carstenhighvoltage: I wrote a mail to blueobelisk another to edubuntu-devel@ or something06:01
highvoltageok06:01
highvoltageI think you just being here is good. There are many possible synergies between edubuntu and kde-edu, as Anne-Marie pointed out.06:02
carstenyes06:03
carstenI am always in IRC btw, cniehaus@jabber.org for jabber06:03
highvoltagefwiw, we use kde-edu in 200 schools here in south africa and it rocks :)06:03
highvoltageok great06:03
carstenmy school uses suse 9.1 or something, that doesn't rock :(06:04
highvoltage:(06:04
highvoltagelast time I used SuSE it was quite nice. I've never used it in a school environment though.06:04
highvoltagewhat is SuSE bad at?06:04
highvoltageheh, well, perhaps this is not /the/ best time to pimp edubuntu, but edgy certainly seems to be rocking06:05
highvoltageespecially with the new LTSP it has built-in.06:05
carsten9.1 is a) old and b) seems to have major start-up isses.06:05
carstenissues06:05
carstenit takes ages to boot a pc06:05
highvoltageah yes.06:06
highvoltagethat kind of sucks :/06:06
carstenbut we cannot easily changeto something better because we lack the manpower to administer all those pcs06:09
carstenand of course the time to do the switch. So we keep it "running" as long as possible which sucks because that mostly means nobody uses the pcs06:10
highvoltageI've seen that happen in a bunch of schools before :(06:15
highvoltagelack of manpower is a serious problem in many schools, unfortunately.06:16
carstenyes06:19
carstenwe have one teacher who gets 22.5 min a week to administer 200+ pcs :)06:19
highvoltageouch!!06:20
jbrefortin my school, we have two full time techs and one half-time teacher, but thy do not know free software :(06:20
highvoltagein our schools the educators don't know free softwar either06:20
highvoltagebut we mangle the menus so that certain administrative functions aren't available (so that they can't break certain things)06:21
highvoltageand we do some things to help them help themselves06:21
lucasvoWow, I am stunned. Suddenly all that chatter about gallium/kde/gtk and all that to the user meaningless crap...06:21
highvoltagefor example, we put in a troubleshooter in the web interface in the lab: www.jonathancarter.co.za/projects/xola06:22
lucasvohi carsten!06:23
lucasvofunny, kalzium was about the first application I played around with on my suse 8 when I was a little kid :) 06:24
lucasvoI still remember it quite good06:24
highvoltageI first saw Kalzium in Red Hat 9 / K12LTSP. It has certainly come a long way since then.06:26
