BonBonTheJonchovynz: reload synaptic in order to check for updates12:16
=== jono [n=jono@88-107-14-218.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #edubuntu
BonBonTheJonchovynz: what happened?12:22
chovynzit has a list of upgradeable installed apps. but it does say 88mgs need to be downloaded.12:23
chovynzi read on the apt-proxy page that we need to point the deb http lines to deb //var/... maybe this would help?12:24
chovynz^ deb line in sources.list12:24
BonBonTheJonchovynz: the 88 megs is because you were missing some repositories12:25
chovynz...which are already on my other HD, which brings me back to my original question.....how do i make a harddrive a repository source12:25
BonBonTheJonchovynz: did you set up apt-proxy12:26
chovynzno. i've been following the command lines. I'm gonna try apt next12:26
chovynz<sigh> Q. how do i search for all files of *.deb in File manager?12:34
chovynznautilus12:34
LaserJockdoes nautilus do that?12:34
LaserJocklike system-wide searches?12:35
chovynzits supposed to i thought12:35
chovynzyeah12:35
chovynzthe search function doesn't seem to work like it looks like it should12:35
stelisPlaces > Search searches your personal data12:36
stelisEmails etc. 12:36
stelisRather than all of the system12:36
chovynzok....even when you select file system?12:36
=== cafuego [n=cafuego@59.167.191.160] has joined #edubuntu
BonBonTheJonchovynz: I know how using the command line12:37
chovynz:D how?12:37
BonBonTheJonchovynz: 'cp -v -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /mnt/hdb1/var/cache/apt/archives'12:38
chovynz"y enter y enter y enter y enter y enter ..." :D12:41
BonBonTheJonchovynz: then do control-c12:41
BonBonTheJonand take out the -i12:41
chovynzits ok. its already done12:42
chovynzBonBonTheJon: ok heres another question for you....what would the uri for my secondary HD be? how would i find this out?12:52
stelisfile:// plus the device name12:54
=== Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #edubuntu
stelise.g. file:///dev/hda112:54
stelisThree slashes because of the leading slash in the device names12:55
chovynz"/" = root?12:55
stelisYes12:56
stelisDevices are files12:56
stelisIn /dev12:56
stelisDrives are then mounted to access 12:56
stelisThe contents of the devices appear under /media by default12:57
BonBonTheJonchovynz: what do you need the URI for12:57
stelisSo the contents of /dev/cdrom would appear in /media/cdrom12:57
chovynzstelis:  thats true12:58
chovynzBonBonTheJon:  i need that address which is where the local repository for my entire upgraded old system is12:59
stelisI wasn't sure how much you knew already :)12:59
chovynzstelis: good for checking12:59
BonBonTheJonchovynz: is this for apt-proxy12:59
chovynzstill SPM...haven't figured out apt yet..i've been following the tutorial, but there are steps in there that i dont need01:00
chovynzwhat i do need is for sources.list to point to my mounted HD. I don't know the syntax for the SPM / apt channel 01:01
chovynzthen when i run SPM it will see the updated old apps, see the recent "old" files, think of my old upgraded system as a channel and overwrite my new ones. 01:02
chovynzwhich is what i want :D01:03
chovynzis there a crying emote in here?01:05
BonBonTheJon:'(01:05
BonBonTheJonI guess01:05
chovynzthat'll do :)  :'(01:05
chovynzi might as well have DL them all again01:06
BonBonTheJonchovynz: don't give up01:06
chovynzfor the time its taken me this far01:06
chovynzheres the file error message i get01:06
chovynzhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27893/01:07

BonBonTheJonchovynz: are you using breezy or dapper01:13
chovynzdapper01:13
chovynzah01:14
chovynzi used badger didnt i01:14
BonBonTheJonchovynz: did you run through the apt-proxy tutorial01:14
chovynzi didnt completly. I thought it wasn't what i needed. I'll take another look01:15
BonBonTheJonchovynz: did you copy all the .deb files to a folder on the new drive01:18
BonBonTheJonchovynz: you can install all of them, I guess01:18
chovynzall these tutorials and documentations are talking about http internet and networked computers. They aren't talking about a local HD on the same machine - this is the syntax i need for SPM to recognise where to find the undated files.01:19
chovynzBonBonTheJon:  i dont even know how to find all .deb files yet01:19
BonBonTheJonchovynz: did you copy all the files01:20
chovynzi c&p what you told me to01:20
BonBonTheJonchovynz: I have an idea, open up the console and follow with me01:20
chovynzthe cp -i - v bit01:20
chovynzconsole?01:20
chovynzterminal or naut?01:20
BonBonTheJonterminal01:21
chovynzdone01:21
BonBonTheJonchovynz: ok, change into the directory with all the .deb 'ch /mnt/hdb1/var/cache/apt/archives'01:21
BonBonTheJon'cd /mnt/hdb1/var/cache/apt/archives'01:22
chovynzBonBonTheJon: k01:22
BonBonTheJonchovynz: now we will install all of them 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb'01:22
BonBonTheJonchovynz: it should take a long time, it is installing all of the files01:24
chovynzyes :D01:24
chovynzo.O i just thought....why are we installing all of the files?01:24
BonBonTheJonchovynz: it will have the updated files01:25
chovynzBonBonTheJon: im seeing packages in there that i unchecked01:25
BonBonTheJonchovynz: like...?01:25
chovynzlike most things to do with kde01:26
BonBonTheJonchovynz: well, they will show up in synaptic, so you can remove them01:27
chovynzBonBonTheJon: lol. ok if it works i guess01:27
BonBonTheJonchovynz: better to get too much and remove the extra, than download it all over again01:27
BonBonTheJonchovynz: dinner time, I'll be back later01:28
chovynzok thnx01:28

LaserJockcool07:48
sky123:) 07:48
sky123Hi guys can someone help me understand whether schooltool is installed by default on the server end???07:48
sky123and how do i access it via the web? 07:48
LaserJockhmm, I think it's installed on a server install07:52
bimberiyes, edubuntu-server depends on it07:53
sky123right...i saw it synaptic...but i guess my question was a litttle vague...how do i access it??07:53
sky123cool 07:53
bimberisky123: try http://localhost:718007:53
bimberi(a guess)07:53
sky123cool will do 07:53
sky123ill netstat -ln it if necessary 07:54
sky123;) 07:54
bimberi:)07:54
sky123also...what does it use as dbase backend? mysql 07:54
sky123??07:54
sky123or postgres or??07:54
sky123and is zope installed by default for conent management??07:55
sky123content that is...07:55
LaserJockI'm guessing no to the zope question07:55
sky123okay...by the way i hit schoolbell on 7180..which installed as well...but that is schooltool right??07:56
bimberisame here07:56
bimberi(guessing no to zope)07:57
sky123and uhmm...newb here...what is the default login and pass for management..or is that only done from localhost??07:57
sky123ie...remote clients may NOT administer the box... for schooltool...??07:58
bimberisky123: see if there's anyone in #schooltool perhaps :)07:58
sky123lol...good enough :) 07:58
sky123will do 07:58
bimberibtw yes, schoolbell is part of the schooltool project07:58
sky123is there is a list of default packages installed with edubuntu or is a dpkg --list my best option? 07:59
sky123cool 07:59
sky123bimberi,Laserjock thanks for the help thus far07:59
LaserJockdpkg -l is the best to see what you've got07:59
sky123will do. 07:59
LaserJockusually in conjunction with | grep 08:00
sky123but of course :) 08:02
LaserJocksky123:  so have you been able to get into schooltool?08:03
sky123not yet... 08:03
sky123i can access the page..and the official schooltool getting started didnt have any docs in it.. 08:03
sky123yet to be added it says08:03
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
bimberisky123: how about http://localhost:7080 ?08:05
sky123oh...lemme try that 08:06
sky123same result...takes me to calendar...and has same login button at top 08:07
bimberihm08:09
sky123fyi: SchoolTool uses an object database, the Zope Object Database (ZODB) to be precise. It is not a relational database. There are no tables and no object-relational mapping, just persistent objects.  Instead of looking at database tables, Zope developers look for interface.py modules to grok an application's data structure.08:10
sky123bimberi: looks like it uses zope...from their faqs08:10
bimberisky123: yes, zope3 iirc08:11
sky123bimberi: manager,schooltool......lol....worked! 08:17
bimberisky123: did you guess that?08:17
sky123I wish I could take credit for miracles like George Bush...but I googled it... 08:18
sky123and saw it on the cando website.. 08:18
bimberilol, i was going to say 'you cracker you' :P08:19
sky123which is addon to schooltool for managing assessment08:19
sky123lol 08:19

LaserJockwhat does that mean exactly?07:12
lucasvoogra: why are there two different swapservers?07:15
lucasvowhat's the diference?07:15
ografully-automatic-swapserver defines that everything we want is directly included in nbd-server07:16
ograthe current solution is a wrapper script that does the same but isnt integrated07:16
lucasvoogra: because of lack of time?07:17
ograso f-a-s is still not properly integrated ... and will only be if we turned the script into C code and applied it to nbd-server07:17

ograwe're just writing specs :)07:34
highvoltagecool :)07:34
sbalneavIt's coming swimingly.07:34
ograhttps://features.launchpad.net/people/ogra/+specs has already a handfull07:34
=== ogra proposes highvoltages fat-clients spec for uds
highvoltage:-D07:35
LaserJock\o/07:35
sbalneavThere's a nice 3-level heirarchy there.07:36
highvoltageogra: I don't think the diskless fat client work will be so much work, I've got it working already, I just need to get the code into a ltsp bzr branch (which I still need to figure out how to do)07:36
LaserJockogra: I'm wondering now if I shouldn't have marked edubuntu-dynamic-menus as "implemented"07:37
sbalneavFat: Full client, just no harddrive07:37
highvoltagethe only tricky part is the authentication, but ldap support is going to be in feisty, so that makes it easy :)07:37
ograLaserJock, its there, isnt it ? make a followup spec07:37
sbalneavLocalapps: Mainly thin, but an app or two farmed out to the client.07:37
highvoltagesbalneav: correct07:37
sbalneavThin: Everything on the server.07:37
sbalneavPerfect.07:37
ograLaserJock, like we did for SCP 07:37
LaserJockogra: well, I marked it as implemented, but it's more like "Beta Available"07:37
highvoltagesbalneav: at some stage I had that on a terminology page so that we all know what we're tlaking about, perhaps that can go into the ltsp docs this time :)07:37
ograhighvoltage,  https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/edubuntu-network-auth-server07:38
highvoltagesbalneav: btw, is it available somewhere? I'd love to go through it.07:38
highvoltageogra: heh, I downloaded those ldap scripts this afternoon :)07:38
ograLaserJock, if it needs re-considering just make a new spec07:38
=== highvoltage hopes it gets in :)
ograhighvoltage, i'll fight for it ... regardless where the network auth stuff for ubuntu goes07:39
ograi'm tired of waiting07:39
highvoltageogra: do you know whether MV will have teamspeak or other voip things again?07:39
ograyep, it will07:39
ograbut i hope with a speaker/mic on the table this time07:39
LaserJockogra: well, I think it certainly need more discussion to get a really good and usable menu system. I'll whip up something07:39
ograLaserJock++07:40
sbalneavhighvoltage: No, not yet.  I need to sit down for a day and a half, and do some doco on what LTSP5's all about.07:41

nixternalto be part of the community, and go for a deal elsewhere before actually helping out with something the community is trying to do right now07:44
