pips1lucasvo: are you still here?12:20
lucasvopips1: yes12:20
lucasvopips1: I don't know12:20
grahamldlwoh yeh i wanted that too!12:21
grahamldlwsince ubuntu has now accidentally become my new windows!#12:21
pips1grahamldlw: you mean you want the flash-plugin for firefox?12:22
lucasvograhamldlw: overwritten your windows?12:22
lucasvothat's always a good reason to learn linux12:22
=== cyberhell86 [i=djrh@217.201.206.4] has joined #edubuntu
pips1lucasvo: it looks like highvoltage has built the 'Shipit: Order CDs' link into the Drupal theme, so I can't simply change it as an autor...12:24
=== pips1 is stumped slightly
cyberhell86eyyy pls help me.. :S i don't know what happened.. :S but i was using ubuntu... and now i came back to windows... but my dvd writer doesnt burn dvds anymore :S just cds and dvdrw :S do u have any idea what could have happened? :S I updated the firmware :S but i still have the same problem :(12:25
pygicyberhell86, sudo apt-get install brasero12:25
pygiyou can burn dvd's with it12:25
pygiuh, on windows?!12:25
grahamldlwyeh i reformatted my hard drive by accident cuz i tried to change it from ntsf to fat32 when it had stuff (i very very badly needed) on and it just wiped it, but at least ubuntu went on it lol12:25
cyberhell86yes.. :S it doesn't even work on windows anymore :S 12:26
pips1bizarre12:26
cyberhell86maybe the ubuntu change something on the firmware or something :S12:26
pips1nah12:26
LaserJockI seriously doubt ubuntu did anything12:26
cyberhell86uhmm :S12:27
cyberhell86what should i do? :(12:27
grahamldlwsee this is why it's a bad thing that im only a college student, i dont understand all this stuff and the termnology they use12:27
grahamldlwit took about 8 ppl from the ubuntu channel to tell me how to install somethin and it still didnt work :D12:27
pips1grahamldlw: "they"?12:28
grahamldlwyeh pretty much everyone on the ubuntu channel12:28
pips1ah12:28
lucasvograhamldlw: I am also a college student... 12:28
LaserJockas am I ;-)12:28
lucasvograhamldlw: you'll learn very quickly 12:28
grahamldlwthis is my second day of using it12:28
grahamldlwand soon to be last the moment i get a windows CD12:28
lucasvograhamldlw: hey hey....12:29
pips1hehe12:29
lucasvograhamldlw: don't give up that fast12:29
grahamldlwask cbx33 lol im very impatient12:29
grahamldlwhe shud know, cuz im constantly asking him questions and answers12:29
grahamldlwi dont get the whole structure of it12:29
grahamldlwand teh fact i reformatted my hardd drive when it had irreplacable information on it annoyed me a tad12:30
grahamldlwand the command line interface is annoying, and u need permission to do just about anythin on here12:30
pips1what have you been using the command line interface for, so far?12:31
grahamldlwfinding and installing applications12:31
lucasvograhamldlw: you can use synaptic for that12:31
pips1you don't want to use the graphical interfaces for that?12:32
grahamldlwi dont even know what that is12:32
lucasvograhamldlw: system -> administration > synaptic12:32
pips1grahamldlw: are you using an english language installation?12:32
pips1ah, lucasvo beat me to it :)12:32
grahamldlwaccess denied12:32
grahamldlwyes12:32
lucasvograhamldlw: why access denied?12:33
grahamldlwi dont know i dont use it!!12:33
lucasvograhamldlw: what user are you using?12:33
pips1installing software on your system requires your password12:33
lucasvograhamldlw: and did you enter your password?12:33
grahamldlwit didnt even get as far as a password screen12:33
pips1are you using edubuntu or ubuntu?12:33
grahamldlwsynapic package manager right? 12:33
lucasvograhamldlw: what user are you using? the one created initially on the setup12:33
grahamldlwubuntu12:33
grahamldlwyeh12:34
lucasvograhamldlw: yes12:34
grahamldlw...12:35
pips1hmm, you say you don't get as far as a password screen.  rather strange.12:36
grahamldlwi just closed the access denied box and re opened it and it opened it but didnt even ask for a password?12:36
grahamldlwdoes it do it wen i acctually try and use a file?12:37
grahamldlwok dosent matter i giv up, it's obviously no benefit to me, im goin back to good old fashioned simple windows12:38
pips1grahamldlw: if you enter your "sudo" password, the password get's remembered by the system for a few minutes. during that time, you don't need to re-enter it for other administrative tasks12:38
grahamldlwmore hassle then it's worth far too complicated, which is surprising considering all i end up doin is writing pseudo code all day and looking at made up operating systems12:39
grahamldlwb4 i cud see the benefits of using linux over windows, now i see why i've used windows all my life12:40
grahamldlwcheers for ur help anyway12:40
pips1you are welcome12:41
lucasvograhamldlw: you are angry because you lost your data not about the OS. try to remember that. It always takes it's time to get used to a new environnment12:41
lucasvograhamldlw: but do as you like12:41
grahamldlwnah i dont mind the fact i list my dada12:41
grahamldlwdata*12:41
lucasvograhamldlw: I needed several tries to really do the switch12:41
pips1same here12:41
grahamldlwthats ok, i can get over that, it's just i dont like the whole interface of ubuntu12:42
grahamldlwand much prefer the simplicity of windows12:42
lucasvowell... ubuntu is simple as long as you don't use the command line. (which you don't have to)12:42
grahamldlwi dont get the whole structure of the file layouts either12:42
grahamldlwwhich dosent help12:42
pips1to be honest, the graphical interface of windows, mac and linux aren't *that* different, in my humble opinion12:43
grahamldlwor which files u can do what with12:43
grahamldlwif u look at the desktop at a glance they look similar as soon as u start using them there absolutly different12:43
pips1the file system structure can be rather incomprehensible at the beginning, I agree12:43
lucasvograhamldlw: can you tell me an example?12:43
grahamldlwof what?12:43
lucasvothe problems you had with your desktop12:44
grahamldlwwhat do u mean problems?12:44
pips1I want to know too12:44
grahamldlwi said the desktop is different, it's the structure beyond that which courses the problems12:44
LaserJockWindows file structure is rather insane as well12:44
lucasvoindeed12:45
pips1grahamldlw: we would appreciate a quick listing of stuff you had trouble with12:45
grahamldlwi understand windows perfectly compared to this12:45
grahamldlwfile types12:45
lucasvoeverything is hidden in C;/Windows12:45
LaserJockgrahamldlw: well, you gotta give it a little time, you didn't learn Windows file structure overnight :-)12:45
pips1what is the trouble with the file types?12:45
grahamldlwwhereas windows has .exe and the setup files which are easiable identifiable to exactly what u need to do what with, and more often then none requires about 3 clicks to install, linux has .deb .run .tar.gc .tar.bz2 etc etc12:46
lucasvograhamldlw: in linux there is one installer for all apps12:46
lucasvograhamldlw: apt12:46
pips1grahamldlw: you should need to bother with all that, once you get to use a graphical installer like synaptic!12:47
grahamldlwbut it dosent even work, i've had about 8 ppl copy and pasting exactly what i need to write and it dosent work12:47
lucasvograhamldlw: you can use synaptic to install almost every piece of software that is available for ubuntu using it12:47
grahamldlwi get the whole sudo apt-get install etc etc12:47
LaserJockand you don't have to go grubing around the internet for apps12:47
LaserJockUbuntu is much easier to install software on12:47
grahamldlwthen what?12:47
lucasvograhamldlw: just start up synaptic and search for the software you want 12:47
lucasvochoose it to install, and apply the changes~12:47
grahamldlwnah too many words for me12:48
pips1you don't have to use the command line (sudo apt-get ...), 'synaptic' is a graphical interface to that...12:48
grahamldlwdont have the technical vocabulary for it12:48
grahamldlweven on the synap thing it's too complicated12:48
lucasvograhamldlw: to install a package just use the program SYnaptic12:48
LaserJockmuch easier then Windows to install software12:48
lucasvograhamldlw: why?12:48
grahamldlwas i said12:49
pips1ah, so you *did* use synaptic then?12:49
grahamldlwtechnical termonology12:49
lucasvograhamldlw: what didn't you unerstand?12:49
grahamldlwim finally startin to see how microsoft (emphasize) "earn" there money12:49
grahamldlweverything on the left side of the screen for a start12:49
pips1?12:50
LaserJockdude, you just hit the "search" button and type in what you want12:50
grahamldlwnah i dont get it12:50
pips1LaserJock: :-)12:50
grahamldlwim a devote windows user thata do me12:50
LaserJockhehe, well good luck with it.12:51
grahamldlwnow as soon as i get that disk i gotta try and get ubuntu OFF!12:51
pips1well, if you insist on huniting for .exe files to double click on... no one is going to stop you :)12:51
pips1*hunting12:51
grahamldlwi cant click on anythin12:51
grahamldlwnothin works12:51
grahamldlwinfact the only thing i have on my desktops out of about 20 things now is a picture of me surprise surprise12:52
grahamldlwthat works i forgot to add in12:52
lucasvograhamldlw: what do you want to do?12:52
pips1LOL12:52
lucasvograhamldlw: I guess firefox works?12:52
grahamldlwyeh12:53
lucasvograhamldlw: and irc?12:53
grahamldlwi dont acctually want to do anything on here, not anymore anywayz12:53
lucasvook.12:53
grahamldlwi've given up with it all now12:53
=== pips1 thinks that all grahamldlw uses windows for is to have an empty desktop with only a picture ;-)
lucasvogood luck with windows12:53
pygiheh, what an attitude :)12:53
lucasvograhamldlw: sleep over it and try it again12:53
grahamldlwi wish, i did have a full screen of icons, and no! b4 u asked they wernt all pictures of me, only half of em were!12:54
grahamldlwwell until it got formatted12:54
grahamldlwim not gonna speak an i'll word of microsoft after this, hmmm, i was almost converted into a ubuntu user and now im just totally put off after seeing this, this is why they dont even attempt with training for it, it's just too complicated12:55
pips1ok, last question to you, grahamldlw: why did you decided to try ubuntu in the first place?12:55
grahamldlwnot for teachers students etc12:55
lucasvograhamldlw: first think before talking please...12:55
grahamldlwy do i need to think?12:56
grahamldlwwhen the answer is a factual?12:56
lucasvograhamldlw: a kid entirely new to pc without knowing windows will have the same problems to learn either ubuntu or windows12:56
grahamldlwand it's because someone gave me a CD who's opinion on computing matters i respect12:56
grahamldlwhu told me i shud try it especially for programming12:57
lucasvoafter half a day you'll know how to use ubuntu12:57
lucasvograhamldlw: maybe you can ask him to help you12:57
grahamldlwi used it for 2 days now?12:57
lucasvoit's easier to do it locally12:57
pips1has that person not given you a preview of it on his machine? or did he not offer to give you help when trying it?12:58
grahamldlwnah i dont want help with it i want rid of it now it's just problem after problem12:58
pygibleh12:58
grahamldlwno he did show me it and it looked gd, but then again he's probably been using it for yr after yr,amd also he is very smart anyway12:58
=== pygi usually just ignores that kind of attitude
=== bimberi [n=dave@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #edubuntu
grahamldlwim glad windows is used at my college anyway, purely because to me, regardless of wether or not i've been brought up on it i can understand why it wud be easier to use12:59
pygigrahamldlw, if I summon you a start button, you'll be happy then? :)12:59
lucasvowow, ubuntu mirror has ipv612:59
lucasvocool12:59
pips1grahamldlw: are you using any applications for programming on windows?12:59
grahamldlwyeh a couple01:00
pips1which ones?01:00
grahamldlwcant remember01:00
pips1right01:00
LaserJockgrahamldlw: well, I'm sorry you are having a bad experiece here. I'm sure with some patience and a little help from cbx33 you could have a better time01:00
=== pygi giggles :)
grahamldlwi formatted my hard drive by accident01:00
=== pygi thinks that "format drive" and "accident" don't go together
LaserJockgrahamldlw: many many people find Ubuntu (and Linux in general) a much easier and better computing experience01:01
=== pygi is no one to state that tho :)
grahamldlwnah im just gonna get help on programming matters from cbx3301:01
grahamldlwubuntu isnt going to be an issue for much longer01:01
pygigrahamldlw, you do understand he _DOES NOT_ use windows, right? :)01:01
pygibleh01:02
grahamldlwyes i know that01:02
grahamldlwi see him often enuf i shud lol01:02
=== pygi ignores from now on :)
lucasvograhamldlw: you know cbx01:02
grahamldlwyes01:02
lucasvograhamldlw: ask him01:02
grahamldlwhe physically gave me the ubuntu disk01:02
lucasvograhamldlw: he'll help you for sure01:02
LaserJockgrahamldlw: he also told you to back up your data :-)01:02
grahamldlwyeh he's gd with that it's just too complicated for me01:02
grahamldlwyeh i know but i didnt, i tried to do it thru linux but surprise surprise it didnt work01:03
pips1grahamldlw: I don't quite understand why you didn't try to do the backup in your trusted windows environment, though...01:04
grahamldlwif you saw how difficult it is to do anything on my pc u'd know why01:04
pips1huh?01:04
grahamldlwdosent matter01:04
pips1is you windows installation buggered or something?01:04

toy42I've download 6.06.1 edubuntu DVD.  I've installed it in a VMWare container.  It doesn't have LTSP etc as far as I can tell.  Should I have stuck with 6.06 DVD or a 6.06.1 CD that actually had links to them?03:40
toy42maybe should I try edgy?  03:42
toy42I'm also going to try K12...  just trying to get a demo up and running for my son's small school.03:44
LaserJockI'm not really sure03:45
LaserJockyou could try the Edgy Beta CD03:45
toy42thanks...  I'll do that.  I've been using Linux for 11 years, but I need something simple to "sell" ...  as the school won't want to worry about if their next "tech helper" will have skillz.  ;)  03:49
LaserJockyep03:50
toy42LaserJock: are you using edgy beta?03:50
LaserJockyep03:51
LaserJockwell, it's a little newer then beta exactly as I update it every day03:51
toy42cool...  and are you doing LTSP?03:52
LaserJockno03:53
LaserJockI don't have an LTSP setup03:53

LaserJockyes, sbalneav was very good about using the microphone05:16
LaserJockthe rest of user were like "Get this crap out of my way"05:16
bimberiooh, precious aren't we :)05:16
LaserJockwell, it's hard to be both live and brodcast at the same time05:17
LaserJocklike I'd be moving around the room05:17
LaserJockand you are talking with people face-to-face05:17
LaserJockand then you're like "darn, I forgot the mic"05:18
LaserJockthen it's like doing IRC05:18
bimberioh yes, that's totally fair05:18
bimberiit needs to work locally before it can possibly be of any benefit to those outside05:18
LaserJockyeah, Paris was the first experiment05:19
bimberi'it' being the BOF session or whatever05:19
LaserJockit'll be better this time05:19
LaserJockespecially if they can get it to work for everbody05:19

willvdlmy 3G gave up the ghost half way through the meeting... :|02:11
pips1basically, I got some test files (sound, images, ...) that I want all test user accounts to be able to access02:11
ograyou need some kind of network auth and need to set up a nfs/samba/something server in the chroot02:11
ograah, well, just put them in a public place on the server 02:12
ograyou dont need any access to any thin clients for that02:12
pips1how do I make a folder public?02:12
=== iandexter [i=iandexte@bam.dreamhost.com] has left #edubuntu ["work"]
ograjust use /tmp ... as long as you dont reboot the data should be there02:12

ograpips1, 02:14
ograogra@edubuntu:~$ ls /home/testuser/02:14

pips1ah, I copied the whole folder from a usb stick, so the permissions probably got copied along with it (?)02:14
ograhmm, that could be02:14
ograset them readable for eveyone in nautilus or so ...02:14
cbx33if I log in on a client machine as a user I get sound.....then logout I get sound ....then login as another user....I won;t get sound....logout no sound....login as the first user again...I get sound02:14
cbx33does that mke sense?02:14
ografuse is *very* secure ... :)02:15
ogracbx33, with tonights iso install ?02:15
cbx33yes02:15
ograthat was fixed ages ago ...02:15
ogracrap02:15
pips1looking at the folder's properties, I see that it is in the group 'sysadmin' and others 'none'...02:15
cbx33also there was a bug in pessulus02:15
cbx33but I have that fixed now02:15
cbx33it is being uploaded as we speak02:15

cbx33for some reason a module of mine was nt being copied....but it's fixed by seb12802:16
ograyep, saw taht02:16
cbx33sorry about the sound issue dude02:16
pips1oh, that doesn't work recursively...02:16
cbx33also...the progres bar on the client machine ...only goes 20% of the way...and then goes to X....it's not a biggie just an asthetic thing02:16
cbx33apart from that things seem good02:16
cbx33SCP works great02:16
cbx33as far as I can tell02:17

pips1how bizarre, clicking on 'apply permissions to enclosed files' only works on the subfolders, but not on any contained files?! 02:17

cbx33and only that user02:27
ograeven on my new install from 30min ago it worked fine02:27
cbx33they can log on multiple times after that02:27
cbx33and get sound02:28
ograand you did never log in with any of these users directly on the server ? 02:28
cbx33i did login with one of them02:28
ograthere is a bug in the gstreame autosink it seems that sets the defasult sink to alsa forcefully if you log in on the server02:28
cbx33hmm...02:28

pips1erm, ls /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ doesn't have a lts.conf ?!02:44
ograafter a new install from the iso ?02:45
ograthat cant be 02:45
pips1new install amd64 and since I have only i386 clients, I ran 'sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/amd64 && sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386'02:45
ograaha02:45
pips1was that a mistake?02:45
pips1??02:46
ograyou need to run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical edubuntu-artwork in this case02:46
pips1right02:46
ograthat sets the defaults for usplash, lts.conf etc 02:46
pips1didn't know that :)02:46
ograno, its not documented yet .,.. my fault02:46
=== pips1 makes a note in his personal testing notes
pips1hmm. sound still on server, perhaps I need to re-log in with that client02:50

pips1ah, I forgot... I need to try setting esd in lts.conf :)02:51
pips1pardonnez moi02:51
ograno need for that if you ran the reconfigure02:52
ograbut you need to reboot the client to read the lts.conf02:52
pips1I rebooted, sound still only on server, now I'm looking at the lts.conf file02:54
pips1So you say I should add 'SOUND-DAEMON=esd' ?02:55
pips1*SOUND_DAEMON02:55
pips1ogra: ?02:55
ograno02:56
pips1what do you want me to try?02:56
ogradont touch the lts.conf02:56
pips1right02:56
ograjust if the sound works ?02:56
pips1nope02:57
pips1sound is still playing on the server02:57
pips1any debugging steps I can take?02:58
ograyou rebooted the client after the reconfigure ? 02:59
pips1yep02:59
ograand your outputsink is set to esd =02:59
ogra?02:59
pips1hold it... I only logged the client out and logged in again, I didn't reboot the server02:59
ograyou shouldnt reboot the server03:00
ograbut the client03:00
pips1right03:00
pips1where to I see that outputsink ?03:00

ogralog out and in again03:01
pips1got it. it was set to Autodetect, I will now set it to esd03:01
ograok03:01
pips1do I need to log out the client, or should it work immediately? (sound still on server)03:02
ograyou need to log out i think03:03
pips1oh, silly me, I ran gstreamer-properties on the client instead of on the server... bear with me03:03
ogradoesnt matter03:04
ograits counts for the user, not for the hardware03:04

ograhmm, thats weird, but the lts.conf is in place, right ?03:08
pips1yes03:09
ograand has a line SOUND=True i suppose03:09
pips1lts.conf has only five properties defined, but I guess they are as you set them03:10
ograright 03:10
ograand you rebooted the client with it in place03:10
pips1yes03:10
ograand the user has the esdsink selected 03:10
pips1how do I know that?03:11
ograand you didnt change *any* other sound related properties03:11
ogra<ogra> hit alt-f2 03:11
ogra<ogra> type gstreamer-properties into the input field03:11
ogra<ogra> hit enter03:11
ogra<ogra> make sure esd is selected for the audio output03:11
ogra<ogra> then close it again03:11

=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu
pips1esd *is* selected for audio output. If i click the test button, the sound plays on the server's speakers. I will now try to reboot the client once more and try sound once more. but sound doesn't seem to work on the client as it should. :-/03:13
pips1no go :(03:13
ograyou are not logged in on the server as i asked in the beginning, right ?`03:14
pips1and, yes, I didn't change any sound settings anywhere else03:14
pips1I *am* logged in on the server with the initial user, but I never logged in with any other (test) user03:15
ograok, but you didnt use that user for testing anywhere03:15
pips1do I need to logout the initial user on the server?03:15
ogra(the initial one, while you were logged in on the server)03:15
ograif you test with it03:15
ograif you are logged in with the same user on the server, how should the sound be redirected if the system always sees you locally03:16
pips1oh, well, yes I think I *did* open a sound file with the initial user on the server, if that's what you are asking03:16
ograno, i'm asking that you dont lkog in twice03:16
pips1no, I never logged in twice03:17
ogradont touch the server now ... and do everything ysou do only from the client03:17
ogra(and be sure to be logged out on the server)03:17
pips1however, since we are really trying to get this clear: I *did boot* the thin client before I had created the additional users (test1 and test2). 03:18
ograi think you rebooted it after the reconfigure of edubuntu-artwork ?03:18
ograelse sound cant work03:18
ograas i said, the client only reads the lts.conf at boot03:18
pips1yes, I rebooted the client, but I never rebooted the server03:18
pips1ok, so I will log out of the server with the initial user (sysadmin) now.03:19
pips1just to be sure that I don't accidently mix up what I am doing03:19
pips1right03:19
pips1I just ran history on the server, to double check what I did on the server03:20

cbx33sorry ogra - did you confirm it's broken03:32

ogracbx33, waiting for your test03:32
pips1ogra: Is there anything else in particular i can test?03:33
=== pips1 plugs in a usb stick on the client

pips1ogra I'm sorry i now see I completely missed out on the testing guide (add user to fuse group etc). sorry, I'm now on the ball03:44
ograpips1, but i suspect your prob lies elsewhere ... it seems to me that your lts.conf isnt read at all03:44

cbx33on the user who sound works....has no personal esd process running03:50
ograthere should be *no* esd running *at all*03:50
cbx33there are two root owned esd ones running03:50
cbx33can I try rebooting the server03:50
ograwhere do these come from ? 03:50
cbx33I don;t know03:50
ograthere is nothing that could start an esd process as root03:50

Amaranthunless they've been reparented you can see who started them03:51

cbx33I'm gonnareboot the server to see if that fixes03:52
ograit will03:52
sbalneavMorning ogra, did the install last night, things seemed to work well.03:52
=== ogra makes a note that users should have at least theree testusers ...
ograsbalneav, seems to me as well :)03:52
Amaranthcbx33: ps axjf03:53
cbx33rebooting 03:53
cbx33give me a tick03:53
Amaranthwait, no03:53
ograi did an amd64 install with i386 chroot tofday, worked also fine03:53
Amaranthrun that, see if it shows who started esd03:53
ograapart from that darn progressbar issue and the new splash screen it should be final03:53
pips1ogra: adding the test1 user to the 'fuse' group didn't enable the localdevices on thin client for me :-/ so there most be something strangely wrong with my setup. Did you test a amd64-server i386-client setup yourself?03:53
cbx33nice03:53
ograpips1, yes03:54
pips1right03:54
ograexactly what you have there03:54

pips1sbalneav: do you mean on the client?03:54
ograsbalneav, i think his lts.conf isnt read for some obscure reason03:54
pips1ogra: should i try to reboot the server and re-test? 03:55
ograthat shouldnt chqange anything, but try it03:55
pips1ok, I will 03:55
sbalneavpips1: yes, on the client.  Adding yourself to a group only gets picked up at login time.  Longstanding "feature" of Unix :)03:56
pips1sbalneav: yes, I did re-login on the client but the usb stick still isn't automounted... ogra suspects that my lts.conf isn't read and that affects both the localdev and client-sound, I take it03:57
cbx33ok ogra now there are no esd processes running at all03:57
ogragreat03:58

ograsudo chroot /opt7ltsp/i386 passwd04:42
ograerr04:42
ograsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd04:42
ogra(will ask for the sudo PW first)04:42
pips1sudo pw for test2, right?04:43
cbx33ogra: are we getting closer?04:43
ograif thats a sudo user, yes04:43
cbx33sorry had to duck out04:43
pips1huh? 04:43
ograwell, did you make test2 an admin while creting that user ?04:44
ograelse he wont be able to sudo04:44
pips1I tried the initial user password first and I got "Sorry, try again", then I tried the test2 password and i got the command line.04:44
ograis this user an admin or not ?04:45
pips1no04:45
ograso use an admin :)04:45
pips1I tried the initial user password, but i must have mistyped it04:45
ograjust change the user in the terminal with su 04:45
ograto bewcome the admin user04:45
ograthen set the root pw04:45
cbx33ogra: don't you have to "unlock" the root account first04:46
cbx33or does changing password unlock it?04:46
=== pips1 is now rather confused as to what happened regarding the password change on his machine
pips1sorry04:47
ogralocking means disabling the pw04:47
pips1is there a way I can start over again with this password change thing?04:47
pips1ogra 04:47
pips1give me the steps and I will do them 1:+04:48
pips1*1:104:48
ograpips1, you didnt change anythin if you are not the admin04:48
ogrause su04:48
ograto become the admin in your gnome-terminal04:48
=== pips1 types 'su' and hits enter
ograno04:48
ograsu <adminusernam>04:48
pips1so what?04:48
pips1ah04:48
ograthen give the pw for that user and you become him04:49
pips1ok done04:49
ograthen: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd04:49
ogragive the sudo pw (of that user) and tape "root" two times or another trivial pw04:49
ogra*type04:49
cbx33i have to go...I'll be back later04:49
cbx33sorry04:49
pips1cu cbx3304:50
ograit should quit with "password accepted" or something04:50
pips1by "give the sudo pw (of that user)" you mean I need to enter the initial user password in?04:50
ograno04:50
pips1which one then?04:50
ograthe one of <adminusernam>04:51
ograthe *sudo* user04:51
pips1isn't the initial user = adminusername, in my case (I named the initial user "sysadmin" btw)04:51
ograthen you should be sysadmin atm and use hois pw04:52
pips1ok, I entered that password, and strangly, got "sudo: /opt/ltsp/i386/: command not found"04:53
ograerr04:53
pips1whoami04:53
pips1sysadmin04:53
ograchroot ?04:53

LaserJockRichEd: cool, thanks for the info on the Education Summit06:15
RichEdgreat ... mark is very keen to make it a success ... so it is not a cap in hand request from education ... will be soliciting input on agenda and people to invite soon.06:16
LaserJockare you looking for people from all over?06:16
tidelineSorry to come in late, where is the conference you all are talking about?06:17
LaserJockor targeting a particular country or sector of the educational world?06:17
LaserJockprobably not set yet, it's down the road yet06:18
jsgotangcoedu summit?06:18
tidelinejsgotangco, yes06:18
RichEdYep ... this is one of those threads that perk up interest & rumourz so let me explain !06:19
jsgotangcois edubuntucon 2 in the works?06:19
RichEdogra has wanted an education summit for some time. I have also supported that. Mark has agreed that we will host an Ubuntu and Education summit in Q2 2007.06:20
jsgotangcothat's nice hopefully i can still walk by then, after doing this thing at work06:20
RichEdSpecs for Edgy+1 will be thrashed out at Mountain View in November, with input from the education community.06:21
RichEdUbuntu and Education summit in Q2 2007 will have a strong *education flavour*. That does not mean it will be non-techncial, but the technical aspects will not dominate the education discussions. 06:22
jsgotangcothat's nice to know06:22
RichEdTechnical Development will be discussed at the next UDS ... which will probably be just after the Ubuntu and Education summit in Q2 2007.06:22
=== jsgotangco have no idea what to help on there though
RichEdThis is early news, and things are not set in stone. Please note that lots of input is required from ogra before we cast anything in stone !06:23
ograreally ?06:24
jsgotangcolol06:24
ografor the edu conf ?06:24
tidelineis there a tentative location?06:24
RichEdnope ... 06:24
jsgotangcowell like i said, im not from the edu sector, i have no clue at all06:24
=== jsgotangco is just good at slacking
=== ogra knows everyone will hate him after the edu conference ... i'm the bad guy who has to deny all the stuff for technical reasons
LaserJockhehe06:25
sbalneavogra: Hey, quick question!06:25
RichEdJust an agreement from sabdfl that we need it and he supports it, and a rough time Q2 2007. So no futher rumours or bunfights please :) We'll probably bounce ideas around in edubuntu meeting to take to MV. After MV the picgture will become cleaerer.06:26
LaserJockI was hoping to give ogra moral support for that, but I don't know how many conferences I can get away with work-wise06:26
sbalneavI just got a blingy new server here: IBM x385006:26

sbalneavIt only sees 3 :)06:26
jsgotangcoRichEd: heck just do it over here, i could even provide you television coverage ;)06:26
sbalneavmem=xxxxxxxx on the grub boot line?06:27
ograsbalneav, hmm, you probably need the bigiron kernel06:27
sbalneavOhhh06:27
ograbut that has no preempt set ... 06:27
sbalneavbigiron kernel?06:27
sbalneavDo tell06:27
ograwhich is bad if you want it as ltsp server06:27
RichEdjsgotangco: it will need to dovetail into UDS so the location will be the same or close. No significant travel for people doing the two in a row.06:27
jsgotangcoRichEd: just for consideration, though, we are very well connected in the region ;)06:27
sbalneavNah, it'll be a database server.06:27

Stephan102how do i start the service10:49
stgraber/etc/init.d/gdm start10:50
stgrabertry that and gdm should start10:50
pygicbx33: yup, it is10:50
cbx33yup10:50
Stephan102gdm not in init.d directory10:51
Stephan102did a xubuntu server install, then apt-get install edubuntu desktop10:53
Stephan102sorry edubuntu-desktop10:54
Stephan102installed no probs10:54
stgraberstrange, because gdm is in the depends of edubuntu-desktop, so it should be installed10:54
stgrabercan you do : dpkg -l | grep gdm10:54
Stephan102did sudo apt-get install gdm and is now installing10:55
Stephan102wasn't installed it seems10:55
Stephan102sorryyy..10:55
Stephan102is this all i need to run edubuntu? edubuntu-desktop and gdm?10:58
stgraberthe problem is that gdm should come with edubuntu-desktop, then I'm not sure you have all of the edubuntu-desktop packages installed11:01
