stgraberhi07:57
theresai have a problem: i've just installed the latest version of edubuntu on my laptop....but somehow the installation wasn't that smoothly.....and in the end it all seemed to work out ok....now it booted fine, and asks me for the login name and the password....but i don't remember that i was asked to verify a login name and password....07:58
stgraberyou should have been during the installation07:58
theresahmm07:58
stgraberjust after formating the partitions07:58
theresawhat can i do now?07:58
pygitheresa, you mean you havent wrote username when you were installing?07:59
theresayeah the problem is, i got the following error message during installation08:00
theresa"Build LTSP chroot08:00
theresaNo Interface for LTSP dhcpd configuration found08:00
theresaThere are no free interfaces for usage with the LTSP Server. Please configure the file /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf manually to point to a valid static interface after the installation finished."08:00
pygiyou should rather install workstation on a laptop, but this isnt a problem08:00
stgraberyes, it's not a problem I also had this message on my laptop and everthing worked fine08:01
theresahmm :(08:01
stgraberand the user creation should be before the building chroot part08:01
pygitheresa, I have a solution, but quite complex I'm afraid08:02
stgraberyou have : language -> hardware detection -> network -> partitioning -> formatting -> timezone -> user creation -> base system -> chroot -> end (I may have done some mistake but the idea is here)08:02
stgraberpygi: chroot ?08:02
pygistgraber, yes, from live cd, to add an user08:02
stgraberyes, that's also the solution I see, but that's not really easy to do08:03
theresapygi: fire away ;)08:03
pygitheresa, no, really, it's not easy :-/08:03
theresai also have the edubuntu live cd...08:03
stgraberpygi: you can also do it with the install cd, by moving to the terminal when the partitionner is started08:03
pygistgraber, let's not get into that :)08:04
stgraberimo, the easier way is to reinstall (as nothing was set after the install it should only be a time problem)08:04
theresahmm what else could i do? i'm afraid if i'm reinstalling edubuntu i'll get the same problem08:04
theresayeah but the whole installation almost cost me over an hour08:05
theresa:(08:05
stgraberif you have two computers (one on IRC and the other on the install CD) I could tell you step by step what to do to create this user08:06
theresastgraber: yes please!08:07
theresathe laptop is in the other room, that would be no problem ;)08:07
stgraberso, boot the install CD and choose the same option until you are in the partitioner (do not do partitionning !!!)08:08
pygistgraber, just instruct her how to use chroot to fix problem pls08:08
pygistgraber, uh, no pls :(08:08
stgraberpygi: what's the problem ?08:09
pygistgraber, just give her the solution with chroot. much saner IMHO08:09
stgraberpygi: it's my chroot solution, as she doesn't have the livecd08:10
pygiah, ok08:10
theresai have the livecd08:10
stgraberpygi: the partionner step means the paritions are detected and can be mounted08:10
theresathe live AND the install cd...i burned them both08:10
pygistgraber, I understand, but nevermind08:11
pygilet's help her08:11
stgrabertheresa: boot the one you want :)08:11
theresaok, i'll boot the live cd08:11
theresaok, then?08:14
stgraberWhat installation did you do ? "Install to disk" or "Workstation" (I'm checking this user creation problem)08:14

stgraberok, did you choose the automatic partitionning ?08:24
theresai have an 75 gb ext3 partition and a 500mb swap08:24
theresano, i partioned with gparted08:24
stgraberok, so the system should be hda1 and the swap hda208:24
theresayeah probably...but i think i slightly remember something with hda5 or so08:25
stgraberanyway it won't work if that's false so : mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt08:25
theresahow can i look up the partition tables?08:25
stgrabergparted should be on the live cd08:25

theresapah now it says  "the group admin already exists"08:38

theresayou mean "adduser theresa admin"08:39

theresa2but it seems like for example a "sudo apt-get install kopete" won't work :(08:55
LaserJocktheresa2: what does it give you?08:57
stgraberstrange, as soon as you are in the admin group it should work08:57
stgraber(except if the /etc/sudoers wasn't generated/copied during the install)08:58
theresa2i'll have a look08:58
theresa2it was generated09:00
stgraberbut ofc you can't read it :)09:00
theresa2cd /etc/ and the "ls" shows a directory called "sudoers"09:00
theresa2ofc?09:00
stgraberofc=of course, you can't read it because only root can09:01
theresa2yeah09:01
theresa2but i just checked the user panel09:01
stgraberso you can't know if the : %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL09:01
theresa2there are 2 users apparently09:01
stgraberis inside09:01
theresa2one is called "root" and the other one "theresa"09:01
stgrabercan you check that you are in the admin group ?09:02
theresa2i've just added me to the admin group09:02
theresa2or maybe not09:03
theresa2:(09:03
stgraberI don't think you can :)09:03
stgrabercan you do : cat /etc/group | grep admin09:04
theresa2lpadmin:x:110:theresa09:05
theresa2lpadmin:x:110:theresa09:05
theresa2admin:x:1001:theresa09:05
theresa2actually, because previously i've accidently added a user called "admin" instead of adding the group...but then i've added addgroup user as well09:06
stgraberreally really strange, you are in the admin group, but you can't use sudo ...09:07
LaserJockoh09:08
theresa2hmm09:08
stgrabermaybe sudo checks the groupid, usergroup are usually >=1000 and system ones are <100009:08
LaserJockyou're admin groups ID is 100109:08
stgraberyes09:08
stgraberI think that's the problem09:08
stgraberit's 114 here09:08
LaserJock112 here09:09
Burgundaviawhich means you created the group on your own and is thus not a system one09:09
theresa2hmmm what can i do then?09:10
stgraberboot the livecd, mount again, chroot again09:10
stgraberdelgroup admin09:10
stgraberaddgroup --system admin09:10
stgraberadduser theresa admin09:10
theresa2what's the difference between --system admin and admin?09:11
LaserJock--system will create a system group :-)09:11
LaserJockwhich has a different groupid09:11
theresa2ok, is there anything else that i should do or take care of?09:11
stgraberone will create <1000 gid and the other >=100009:12
stgraberjust check that /etc/sudoers has : %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL09:12
stgraber(the last line in mine)09:12
theresa2how do i check that?09:12
stgraber"gedit /etc/sudoers" should work09:13

theresa2i'll try my best....wish me luck.....09:14
theresa2i'm hopefully be back within 10 minutes or so ;)09:14
stgrabergood luck :)09:14
theresa2one more thing09:15
theresa2what if /etc/sudoers doesn't has %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL09:15
stgraberecho "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers09:16
blue-frogyou need to edit sudoers file09:16
blue-frogreboot in recovery mode and visudo09:16
theresa2visudo?09:17
blue-frogyes09:17
blue-frogit is not a typo...09:17
theresa2what's that? you mean vi the editor?09:17
blue-frogno, visudo in one word09:17
theresa2ok09:17
theresa2and that should fix it?09:17
stgrabervisudo is a command that open vi (the editor) and the /etc/sudoers in it09:18
stgraberthen you will have to add the line09:18
blue-frogwell once you are editing sudoers you give whatever permission09:18
theresa2ok and then i should add the echo line?!09:18
theresa2if it doesn't already exist anyway09:18
blue-frogyes09:19
stgraberno, the echo line is my way to fix it09:19
stgraberthe echo line simply add the line to the sudo09:19
theresa2ahh ok09:19
stgrabersudoes09:19
stgrabersudoers09:19
blue-frog%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL09:19
stgraberecho "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers09:19
stgrabersimply enter that and it will add the %admin... line to your /etc/sudoers09:19
theresa2ok, thanks gentlemen, i'll try my best09:19

blue-frog checks for parse errors09:21

theresawhat's your favourite application on edubuntu?11:25
stgraberFor your install, the first thing you will have to choose is if you want to install isolated workstation, then you choose the "Workstation" install11:25
theresaok. not as i did on the laptop because i chose "install on harddisc" ?!11:26
stgraberor if you want to make a network (one big server and several small computers (no harddisk needed, 64MB of ram minimum) and then you choose the "Install to disk"11:26
stgraberyes, in fact you installed a server on your laptop :)11:26
stgraberthe desktop is the same but you have some more things installed11:26
theresaohhh11:26
theresai see11:26
stgraberlike the ltsp-server, schooltool and some other stuff :)11:26
theresathanks for the advice11:27
stgraberPersonally I install the server "Install to disk" because that's the thing I really like with Edubuntu11:27
stgraberhere we have some really old computers (100Mhz, 64MB of ram and 1GB hard disk)11:27
stgraberyou just add a 100Mb/s network card11:27
stgrabermake a network boot floppy disk11:28
theresayeah my laptop is dead slow two....probably 600Mhz or maybe 700Mhz11:28
stgraberthen install a server with two network cards11:28
stgraberone connected to the internet, the other connect to a switch11:28
stgraberand finally you connect all the computers to the switch11:28

stgraberand replacing or adding a computer is simple as creating a floppy disk and plugging a network cable11:29
stgraberwith Feisty (the next Ubuntu release) there will also be an improved "Student control panel" that will make possible to view all the computers, take the control, make a demonstration (all the computers show your screen), ...11:30
stgraberIt's really a good thing for a computer room and I only use Edubuntu for that11:31
Elwellhmm. Where do I set refresh rate for X (xorg.conf?) - running out of range for my LCD11:31
theresahere is my plan: i reckon the school don't want to switch all their pcs to edubuntu (which i fully understand) because teachers and students are used to windows and if they necessarily need something then it's easier to manage a problem with a usual environment....so my plan is to install edubuntu on 2-3 pcs and let the students partipate it ( i want to do a showcase of edubuntu with massive user testing)11:31
stgraberElwell: the modeline in the xorg.conf (if modeline still exist :) )11:31
