LaserJockxp_prg: hmm, you might have to check the sshd conf12:48
xp_prgI did, X11Fowarding is set to yes12:49
LaserJockshouldn't make a difference buy have you tried -Y12:52
xp_prghow do I try that?12:54
LaserJockinstead of -X use -Y12:55
xp_prgLaserJock , I am trying to isntall vmware server, it needs the kernel /usr/src/linux/include12:57
xp_prgwhat is the package I need to install to get that?12:57
LaserJockI think the kernel headers12:57
xp_prgthe -Y did not work12:57
LaserJockxp_prg: I think apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` should work12:58
LaserJockto get the headers12:59
xp_prgok trying with apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic12:59
xp_prgdo you know what directory it puts those headers in?01:00
LaserJock /usr/src/linux/include I think01:02
xp_prgwow the vmware script says that the include kenerl files don't match the current running os01:03
xp_prgeven though it is the same01:03
LaserJockuname -r gives you 2.6.17-10-generic?01:03

LaserJockhi cbx3308:49
LaserJockcbx33: I figured out how to set up apache on my home server last night08:52
cbx33nice08:52
cbx33with php5?08:52
LaserJockwell, how to do it while only letting my home network and uni network have access08:53
cbx33ahh nice08:53
LaserJockI'm a little more security-minded these days08:53
stgraberusing apache or iptables for the filtering thing ?08:53
LaserJockso it's not on :80 and I limit IPs08:54
cbx33ahh08:54
cbx33cool08:54
LaserJockstgraber: apache so far08:54
cbx33cool08:54
stgraberk08:54
cbx33firestarter is pretty cool08:54
LaserJockI'm behind a DSL router08:54
stgraberpersonally I moved to a : VPN -> home network08:54
cbx33hehe08:54
cbx33alright smarty pants08:54
cbx33;)08:54
stgraberit's easier if you can08:54
LaserJockso I'm only letting in 2 ports to my server08:54
stgraber22+your custom port I guess08:55
LaserJockI haven't done PHP yet ( I don't think)08:56
cbx33heh08:56
LaserJockI did install the svn and python mods08:56
cbx33LaserJock, do you have a list of all the educational apps in universe?08:57
cbx33ahh cool08:57
cbx33svn over https is wicked cool08:57
LaserJockI don't know PHP so unless I want to install something like a wiki I don't have a need for it08:57
cbx33hehe08:57
LaserJockand I could even you Moin for a wiki and be PHPless08:58
LaserJockPHP and MySQL scare me stil08:58
stgraberThey are use everywhere and then are the usual target for the "hackers", I think PHP+MySQL are really powerful for the webpages but you really need to take care of the security09:00
cbx33moin is awesome09:00
sbalneavI'm scared of quicksand myself. :)09:00
cbx33hehe09:00
cbx33LaserJock, do you have a list?09:00
LaserJockstgraber: that's why I think I'm just going to leave them out unless I really have to09:00
sbalneavFortunately, it's a good phobia to have, as I very rarely run into it. :)09:00
LaserJockcbx33: it's almost impossible to create such a list, for me09:00
=== sbalneav listens to "Devo's greatest hits"
cbx33:(09:01
cbx33i thought you had one?09:01
cbx33or was that just science09:01
cbx33do you knwo of any good edu apps?09:01
LaserJockcbx33: the problem is they are scattered all over the repo, and it's sort of a judgment call as to what is educational and what isn't09:01
LaserJockI have a list for Science yes09:01
stgraberLaserJock: Once I decided to count how many times someone (or something in case of a script) is trying to use PHP security issue on my server, it was hundreds of times a day :)09:01
LaserJockand I've been collectiong a list for MIRs09:02
cbx33it's for the book you see09:02
stgraberbut : I don't have PHP as root, I don't allow mail() and my tmp directory are cleaned frequently, ... so no problem so far09:02
LaserJockstgraber: cool09:02
LaserJockcbx33: well, you could email edubuntu-users09:03
cbx33ok09:03
LaserJockcbx33: here are some resources I used:09:04
LaserJock http://richtech.ca/seul/09:04
LaserJockhttp://www.gnomefiles.com/category.php?cat_id=1309:04
LaserJockhttp://linuxappfinder.com/education09:04
LaserJockand then some of the apps we are looking to possibly add to Edubuntu are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JordanMantha/EdubuntuMIRCandidates09:05
cbx33openuniverse is cool09:14
cbx33man there are more apps than I ever imagined09:15
LaserJockcbx33: did you see that I just got marble into Feisty the other day for oli?09:16
cbx33marble?09:16
LaserJockit's a world map thingy09:16
LaserJocklike a globe09:16
LaserJockand then you type in a city and it takes you there09:17
LaserJockand you can zoom in and out09:17
LaserJockshould be pretty cool for geography09:17
cbx33like google earth?09:17
LaserJockI haven't tried google earth :/09:17
LaserJockprobably less features09:17
cbx33sound like google earth09:17
LaserJockbut I think it's like that idea09:17

cbx33did you get qa chance to try out the vnc yet was the only other question10:01

cbx33that makes me feel a little easier10:25
cbx33I'll be LTCMing tomrorow, I hope to add the blanking system....10:25
cbx33are we confirmed moving to a icon toolbar at the top for LTCM?10:25
ograi think so ...10:26
cbx33ok10:26
cbx33sorry I'll leave you be now....10:27
cbx33I'm just getting less and less time to discuss things....10:27
cbx33so I have to do it in chunks10:27
cbx33would appreciate a test of the vnc to see if you concur as to it's suitability10:27
LaserJockcbx33: what are you using for vnc server?10:28
cbx33it will be x11vnc on the nfs roots iirc10:28
cbx33for the python viewer I'm using a hacked up version of RedHat's virt-manager10:28
cbx33sound good?10:33
=== LaserJock has to wrap his brain around LTSP again
LaserJockis the vnc server on the LTSP server or on the actual client?10:35
cbx33on the client10:35
cbx33iirc10:35
LaserJockwhy wouldn't it be on the server?10:35
cbx33the spec should explain it10:35
=== jinty [n=jinty@196.207.32.235] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33well this way it allows multiple server implementtaiton10:36
LaserJockwouldn't that still be the case if you vnced from the server10:36
cbx33well hmm10:36
cbx33yes10:36
cbx33srry I'm tired ;)10:36
LaserJocknp10:36
cbx33I'm sure there's a reason10:36
cbx33ogra will know10:36
cbx33read the spec to see if it's in there10:36
cbx33I've not got to that bit yet10:37
LaserJockI was just thinking of vnc'ing from a client that is actually running on the server10:37
ograthe x11vnc server runs n the client, attached to DISPLAY=:0.010:37
LaserJockwhy not use vino straight from the server?10:37
ograthe vnc client connects to the thin client so you can see whats on the screen there10:37
ograwe wouldnt be able to have tiled overviews of the classroom for example ...10:38
LaserJockbut shouldn't you be able to get the from the server directly too? :/10:38
ogravino would have to be started externally10:38
LaserJocks/the/that/10:38
ograsure10:38
cbx33ogra, I'm going for this tomorrow, GUI redesign, blanking of screens, generalisation, adding tab for processview/vnc view10:39
ograyou can run vino and connect to the client IP as well if you know the password SCP generated10:39
cbx33currently I'm goign to make it look at 4 screens only10:39
LaserJockhmm, just seems like you are doubling the traffic if the client is getting everything from the server anyway10:39
cbx33it will only have 4 vnc sessions running at anyone time10:40
LaserJockbut I'm certainly no LTSP or server expert10:40
ograbut you cant connect to the running ssh tunnel in a sane way10:40
ograyou need the contents of the client display ...10:40
LaserJockogra: will you need anything from me for edubuntu-on-2-cds next week?10:40
ograi dont know any way around connecting to the thin client10:40
ograa list would be nice10:41
cbx33ogra, 4 vnc's shouldn't be crippling10:41
cbx33shuold it?10:41
ograhow's the MIR situation ?10:41
ogracbx33, no idea, test it10:41
cbx33heh10:41
LaserJockogra: well, I was sort of expecting more feedback (as usual)10:41
cbx33will try, but I have a lot of work to do before I get to that stage10:41
LaserJockogra: but I can take the list I have on the wiki page and start digging material for MIRs and toss out any obvious problem packages10:41
ogragood10:42
ograthat should be a start10:42
LaserJockit might be mostly science for the first go around10:42
LaserJockas there are a lot to choose from and seem to be fairly in demand10:42
ograapart from that it seems there are many people intrested in herd testing at the forums ....10:42
ograprobably we can get more feedback from there10:42
cbx33ogra can we set the default options for the x11vnc server to be low quality and high encoding?10:42
ograsure10:43
LaserJockhmm, should I open a thread on the "Education and Science" subforum?10:43
ograjust give me the parameters you want, i will add them to the initscript10:43
ograLaserJock, good idea10:43
LaserJockogra: ok, will do10:43
cbx33ok, ogra, is herd 2 working well enough for edubuntu10:44
cbx33in other words...can I install a test environmen10:44
cbx33and install x11vnc in the nfs root10:44
ograi'm fine with any list you give me for the start ... the rest of the CD will be stuffed with langpacks10:44
cbx33and get this thing tested?10:44
ograsure10:44
cbx33ok10:44
ograherd2 worked fine for me during testing10:44
cbx33I'll hack up all I can without it....and then run it to fix it up10:44
LaserJockogra: how much room do you think langpacks will take?10:44
cbx33my laptop can't support vmware you see10:45

LaserJockhmm, I've never been a big fan of it, but some people seem to be :-)10:46
cbx33people at BETT would have been if I could give it to them on CD10:47
ograwell, richEd wants to promote win/linux interoperability with edubuntu10:47
ograwinfoss helps there10:47
LaserJockyeah, I would just think that a seperate CD is the way to go there10:48
