dibblegowhat's the difference between the live CD and the install CD? is it just that the live CD has the added bonus of allowing you to boot and use it?03:28
crimsunthat's one feature.03:29
crimsunthe install (alternate, text-based) image tends to be "more" fail-safe in my experience.03:29
dibblegoso in theory, the live CD is everything the install CD is?03:30
dibblegobut perhaps with a couple of unforeseen problems uin your experience03:30
crimsunnot quite "everything," no03:30
dibblegowhat isn't it?03:31
crimsunthe desktop/live cd installer doesn't permit you to install just the minimum required packages03:31
dibblegoah ok thanks03:32
crimsunI recommend trying the desktop/live cd first03:32

MeshezabeelI know in the terminal you can use the sudo command, but what about just in the gui environment05:52
Meshezabeelsynaptic might not have all installers available05:52
jsgmobileUse synaptic or g-a-i05:53
jsgmobileWhat are you unstalling anyway05:53

sbalneavMorning all04:17
sbalneavogra: ping04:17
ograsbalneav, pong04:18
sbalneavWhat's the "proper" way to replace Evolution with Thunderbird.04:19
sbalneavI'm going all ubuntu, and replacing icewm with gnome.04:19
sbalneavBut, we use Tbird for mail04:19
sbalneavand I don't want to have to go to 160+ users prefs and switch them from evo to tbird.04:19
sbalneavWhat's the "proper" way to do it.04:20
highvoltagesbalneav: apt-get remove evolution ; apt-get install thunderbird?04:20
ograyeah, just install TB04:21
ograit should automatically become the default mailer04:21
sbalneavI can remove evo without it wanting to remove ubuntu-desktop? :)04:21
ograbut note that cool stuff like the appointment calendar only works with evo04:21
ogranot sure04:22
sbalneavThats fine, we've got a web-based appointment calendar we use.04:22
ograwe switched a lot of packages to be recommends instead of dependencies04:22
ograbut i'm not sure evo is in that list04:22
sbalneavok04:22
sbalneavI'll play around04:22
ograwell, you could use the web based calendar with evo ;)04:22
sbalneavhow's post-release day?04:22
ograrelaxed04:23
sbalneavno major headaches?04:23
ograi'm sitting on my specs and think about them ... every hour i go to the garage for 20 min and do something on the car .... 04:23
ograno04:23
ogranot at all :)04:23
sbalneav\o/ for us!04:23
ograi have a handfull of updates but dont want to bother with them now ...04:24
pips1good to hear this :-)04:24
ograi.e. the firefox homepage title is broken 04:24
ograthings like that04:24
ogranothing spectacular04:24
sbalneavI just discovered the gnome deskbar04:25
=== highvoltage has a big headache
sbalneavand it is THE AWESOME04:25
=== ogra never tried deskbar
highvoltagesbalneav: FTW!04:25
highvoltage:)04:25
pips1ogra: If i install a second NIC after a dist-upgrade from dapper -> edgy, how will i get the system reconfigured to use that second NIC, rather than just the one?04:26
sbalneavA quick and dirty edit of /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf04:26
pips1can I run dpkg-reconfigure something ?04:26
ograin /etc/netwrok7interfaces 04:26
sbalneavOr, use the gui configurator.04:27
pips1gui configurator, huh, what?04:27
pips1you are pulling my leg04:27
sbalneavFor the network card04:27
ograSystem->Administration->Network 04:27
sbalneavadministration->network04:27
sbalneavogra types faster04:27
ograheh, i just started earlier :)04:28
pips1you were guessing my next question.. :-P04:28
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
pips1ok, thanks fellas04:29
sbalneavogra: You know, it would be pretty flipping easy to write a quick-n-dirty script or interface that you just say which interface is the ltsp one, and it auto-gens the dhcpd.conf file :)04:30
ograsbalneav, yes, but the dhcpd.conf file is a conffile04:30
ograit will give you questions on upgrades we want to avoid04:30
sbalneavah04:30
sbalneavdebian-policy thingy04:31
ograadditionally its a file an admin can edit ... they would get angry with you if you rewrite their custom setup04:31
sbalneavYes, true04:31
ograwhat we can (and likely will) do is that the installer part will rewrite it if the first interface already owns 192.168.0.X04:32
sbalneavOne of the biggest headaches we have in #ltsp is, as you know, stepping people through dhcpd.conf goofups though.04:32
ogradurin a fresh install thats possible ...04:32
sbalneavHmmm04:32
ograyeah04:32
sbalneavI just had a brain wave04:32
sbalneavThere's a rom-o-matic, right?  What about a dhcpd.conf-o-matic.  Answer some simple questions, plug in a few values on a web form, and is displays a dhcpd.conf file that you can copy and paste!04:33
highvoltagesbalneav: wow, that's a cool idea :)04:34
ograthats what ltsp-manager should do at some point 04:34
ograin fact the basic dhcp handling is in place there04:34
ograthe package in universe currently has a bug that prevents it from starting ... 04:35
sbalneavHmm, I looked at the ltsp-manager a while ago.04:35
sbalneavI should pick it up again.04:35
ograyeah, test out the dhcpd stuff04:35
sbalneavok04:35
highvoltagesbalneav: it causes our helpdesk pain too... especially when someone left out a ; or put in one too many or little curly braces04:35
ograyou need to change one line in the /usr/bin/ltsp-manager script to make it start04:35
sbalneavWe probably spend 50% of our time in #ltsp on dhcpd and tftp related questions.04:36
ograchange: self.wTree=gtk.glade.XML ("./ltsp-manager.glade")  -> self.wTree=gtk.glade.XML ("/usr/share/ltsp-manager/ltsp-manager.glade")04:36
ograwell, for a running setup you only need a subnet declartation, filename and root-path set04:37
ograat the point where you want to start complicated setups that need more you should really understand the file content04:37
sbalneavgksu ltsp-manager?04:39
ogragksudo04:39
ograor just sudo04:39
sbalneavWhile we're down in SF, you gotta show me how this glade+python stuff works04:39
ograoki :)04:39
ograeric clearly expressed interest in ltsp-manager development for MV btw04:40
sbalneavBTW, you and I will be rooming together for the ltsp part.  I don't mind a smoking room, so we'll get that.04:40
stgraberogra: I just read this : https://wiki.edubuntu.org/StudentControlPanelCompletion, everything I was looking for is in the list except a small thing, here the software used by the teachers (NetOP school or Mastereye) also has a chat system you can use to talk with a specific student or a list of them (and they can't close the chat window). There is also a possibility to request help from the teacher by clicking on a tryicon.04:41
stgraberuhm, a bit too long :)04:41
ograwell, we can implement such stuff indeed :)04:43
pips1stgraber: why don't you add that as a comment on the wiki page of the spec?04:43
ograright04:43
ograbut not at StudentControlPanelCompletion04:43
ograthat was the edgy spec, there is a new one somewhere04:44
jsgotangcohmm i just want to ask something04:44
jsgotangcowhy is scp installed on a desktop install04:44
jsgotangco;)04:44

sbalneavWhat, they're that bad?04:55
nixternalhehe04:55
nixternalhow can they be bad? they are the only thing in the handbook pretty much ;)04:55
nixternalsbalneav: if i could suggest, run the validate script in the root directory when you make changes...i fixed the validations changes, which weren't all that difficult truthfully04:56
pips1do they live in the svn repo only? or are the available online somewhere (as html)?04:56
nixternalthere was a long <listitem>blah</listitem> list you had04:56
nixternalshould be    <listitem><para>blah</para></listitem>04:56
nixternalother than that, your structure is good04:57
sbalneavah, ok04:57
nixternalsh validate edubuntu/handbook/C/handbook.xml04:57
nixternalyou run the validate.sh script against the handbook.xml and that will tell you the errors you have...it is retardedly difficult because the way I structured the handbook.xml file...it makes it look like the handbook.xml is the issue04:58
nixternali need to figure out a good way to fix that04:58
sbalneavI could, though, just run it against a file I changed?04:59
nixternalnope, the validate script works against the main file, which in this case is the handbook.xml file..that validates the entire directory04:59
nixternalbecause i used the xml validation against the file itself, and it said it was perfect, there was no issues..which in all reality there wasn't...the validate.sh validates the docbook dtd and not just the xml05:00
sbalneavah, that was my problem then.05:01
sbalneavI WAS running it against files when I changed them, and it was oK05:01
sbalneavso foo on me.05:01
nixternalhehe05:02
sbalneavbrb05:07
jsgotangcowe'll make a more complex script for feisty05:11

jsgotangconixternal: the thing is that validation script hasn't evolved much after some of us became inactive for a while05:19
nixternalno it hasn't, but it is the "industry" way of doing it though..that script is nothing but a common command for xml validation05:19
nixternali shouldn't say the "industry" way05:19
nixternalbut the "common" way05:19
jsgotangcoits not05:19
jsgotangcowell not really05:19
jsgotangcoits our custom script05:20
jsgotangco;)05:20
nixternalthere are much more detailed scripts05:20
nixternalxmllint --noout --xinclude --noent --postvalid $105:20
nixternalthats all the script is05:20
jsgotangcothere no need much for another one because our xml is quite limited with what yelp can offer in the gnome side of things05:21
jsgotangcoi dunno about khelpcenter05:21
nixternali was wondering about that05:21
nixternalkhelpcenter == html05:21
jsgotangcokde has its own mad stylesheets05:22
nixternalyes, and they will become "KUbuntu" stylesheet for Feisty05:22
nixternalwe are going to redesign them05:23

ograsbalneav, for localapps06:00
ograwe should have a transparency layer for the dektop06:00
sbalneavyeah06:00
sbalneavThat's gonna get REAL ugly REAL fast :(06:00
ograwe should talk to LaserJock about the menu stuff06:00
ograand have an override file for defined apps that run local  ... so we can provide .dewsktop files that override the ones that start the apps on the server06:01
ograwe'll need something like a config file or even an lts.conf parameter that defines which apps are local apps and which are run on the server06:02

sbalneavDoes anyone know of a nice, simple, pastebin software that I can host?  The fellow who hosted the ltsp pastebin has gone dark.08:10
Rondomsbalneav: pastebin.com08:12
Burgworksbalneav: just use pastebin.ca08:12
Burgworkor .nl08:12
Rondomhttp://rafb.net/paste08:13
bronzepastebin.ca is good.08:13
sbalneavCan't see the "download" link for either one of those.08:14
sbalneavThose are just hosted sites, and they don't post a link back into the irc channel.08:15
sbalneavI'd like actual software, that I can host.08:15

PeBehave some troubles booting my thin clients after upgrading to 6.1008:20
PeBegot this message on my clients: PXE-T01: File Not Found08:20
PeBeany suggestions?08:21
sbalneavRondom: I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing on that site where he's got the source for download?08:21
Rondomsbalneav: there is08:21
sbalneavPeBe: You might need to do an ltsp-update-kernels08:22
PeBetnx, I'll try that, and see what'll happen 08:22
Rondomsbalneav: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.tar.gz08:22
sbalneavRondom: Thanks08:23
PeBedo I need a reboot/restart after ltsp-update-kernels?08:26
sbalneavShouldn't need to 08:32
PeBeit's still the same problem..08:32
sbalneavok08:32
PeBewhen I upgraded i said yes to replace the conf-files 08:32
sbalneavcan you paste your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file to the pastebin?08:33
sbalneav!pastebin08:33
ubotupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)08:33
PeBesince I've used a pretty much standard installation the first when installing 6.0608:33
PeBeguess maybe the problem could be there..08:34
sbalneavHave you pasted the dhcpd.conf file?08:36

sbalneavYou didn't read the pastebin part08:40
sbalneavat anry rate.08:40
sbalneavwhat's in /var/lib/tftpboot?08:41
PeBesorry - didn't see your pastebin comment08:43
PeBeit's a file there called "pxelinux.0" but says it's modified sunday, so seems that it has not been updated08:44
PeBewhen I follow the edubuntu cookbook: "sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386" and run "apt-get update" it failes to download the index files08:50
PeBeguess this will mean that i cannot run "ltsp-update-kernels" properly either08:51
sbalneavI'd say your best bet at this point is to rebuild the chroot08:55
sbalneavmv /opt/ltsp /opt/ltsp.old08:55
sbalneavltsp-build-client08:56
sbalneavthat should clean it up.08:56
PeBeI'll try that08:57
PeBetnx - hope it'll work :)08:57
sbalneavIt should, that will rebuild the chroot from scratch, which I know works.08:59
PeBerunning the commands now..08:59

cberl1Hi folks.  Just finished an upgrade of a test box to Edgy -- so far, looks quite nice.  A couple things seem to have broken, though.  DHCP changed, temporarily disabling TFTP boot -- fixed that easy enough by changing the file option to point to where the pxelinux.0 file actually resides.  Updating the LTSP-client chroot, however, keeps getting stuck trying to install the newer kernel.  I get the message:  Failed to find suitable ramdisk generation t09:44
cberl1Any assistance with this, short of blowing away the old chroot and rebuilding?09:45
=== P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@200.121.86.253] has joined #edubuntu
sbalneavcberl1: That's probably the best approach09:47
cberl1sbalneav: Okay.  I was guessing as much, but for some reason my connection to any server has been really slow the past couple of days, so that's a fairly "painful" operation.  But I will do what I need -- it's only a test box for now.  I'd like to see the effects before I migrate my production box.09:48

PeBeany suggestions?11:45
pygidunno, chmod to right permissions? :)11:46
PeBeand what should that permission be?11:47
