| SnrWhippy | sorted whats this bit about? None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your | 12:37 |
| SnrWhippy | running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for | 12:37 |
| SnrWhippy | your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system) | 12:37 |
| cbx33 | yup | 12:39 |
| SnrWhippy | i take it i say yes then i have to find my c compiler if one is installed by default | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | you need to compile | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | no | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | this is what you do | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | quit the config program | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | and then do this | 12:39 |
| SnrWhippy | k | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers | 12:40 |
| cbx33 | i think that's it | 12:40 |
| cbx33 | ok | 12:40 |
| cbx33 | ydon;t do that | 12:40 |
| cbx33 | do | 12:40 |
| SnrWhippy | ok | 12:40 |
| cbx33 | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 12:40 |
| cbx33 | then do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 12:41 |
| cbx33 | then re run | 12:42 |
| cbx33 | sudo vmware-config.pl | 12:42 |
| cbx33 | and it should compile and load the module perfectly | 12:42 |
| SnrWhippy | ok excellent i'll give it a shot | 12:43 |
| cbx33 | np | 12:43 |
| SnrWhippy | brilliant its the headers i didnt have that explains it | 12:45 |
| cbx33 | heh | 12:46 |
| cbx33 | all working now? | 12:46 |
| SnrWhippy | your an absolute hero! | 12:52 |

| SnrWhippy | arggg it just wont start | 01:05 |
| a5benwillis | what wont start | 01:05 |
| SnrWhippy | vmware just installed it | 01:05 |
| a5benwillis | did you configure it? | 01:05 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah it all went ok | 01:05 |
| SnrWhippy | just when i go to click on it in system tools it just whirrs a bit and stops | 01:06 |
| a5benwillis | try running it from sudo | 01:06 |
| a5benwillis | how did you install it? apt-get? or is it the beta version from tar.gz? | 01:07 |
| SnrWhippy | beta | 01:08 |
| SnrWhippy | says its not corrects installed for this system arggg | 01:08 |
| SnrWhippy | back to the drawing boards | 01:08 |
| a5benwillis | Im running the beta | 01:09 |
| a5benwillis | works just fine | 01:09 |
| SnrWhippy | Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/build/include] | 01:10 |
| SnrWhippy | does that look about right | 01:11 |
| a5benwillis | yes | 01:12 |
| a5benwillis | mine did the same thing | 01:12 |
| SnrWhippy | ahh i wonder if its to do with madwifi | 01:12 |
| a5benwillis | you should still be able to install it. | 01:13 |
| SnrWhippy | all default settings? | 01:13 |
| a5benwillis | yes | 01:13 |
| a5benwillis | when it finishes installing it wall ask to run vmware-config | 01:14 |
| a5benwillis | let it run. | 01:14 |
| a5benwillis | then run vmware with sudo the first time | 01:14 |
| SnrWhippy | just says its not correctly configured | 01:17 |
| SnrWhippy | i'll have a mess about | 01:17 |
| SnrWhippy | i think its probably something to do with kernel version or the fact i've bridged the wireless with vmnet0 | 01:18 |
| SnrWhippy | and it fails bizarrly in the setup | 01:18 |
| SnrWhippy | how do i check my kernel version? | 01:19 |
| a5benwillis | sry Im back | 01:23 |
| a5benwillis | let me catch up | 01:23 |
| SnrWhippy | arggg yeah it is the damn wireless card | 01:24 |
| SnrWhippy | i disabled networking in the config and it starts no probs | 01:24 |
| a5benwillis | cat /proc/version | 01:24 |
| SnrWhippy | cheers yeah version is right | 01:25 |
| a5benwillis | my wireless works, but, when I do vpn from my windows guest I have to use wired | 01:25 |
| a5benwillis | but I have an intel pro card | 01:25 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah i've got a dodgy atheros | 01:26 |
| SnrWhippy | uses madwifi | 01:26 |
| SnrWhippy | which is causing me some grief | 01:26 |
| a5benwillis | is this edubuntu? | 01:26 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah | 01:26 |
| a5benwillis | host or guest | 01:26 |
| SnrWhippy | host | 01:27 |
| a5benwillis | interesting | 01:27 |
| SnrWhippy | i havent got to the guest stage yet | 01:27 |
| a5benwillis | i run ubuntu edgy on my laptop | 01:27 |
| a5benwillis | but I do run edu in vmware | 01:27 |
| a5benwillis | I also have it running under vmware ESX server | 01:27 |
| SnrWhippy | ive never used esx server is it any good | 01:28 |
| SnrWhippy | i'd love to see a proper vmware infrastructure working | 01:29 |
| a5benwillis | yes, ESX is the way to go if you have the hardware. Its very picky | 01:30 |
| a5benwillis | it runs on a modified Fedora kernel and uses very very little of the systems resources. | 01:30 |
| a5benwillis | I have it running on a dual Xeon 3.6 with 6GB ram | 01:30 |
| a5benwillis | 400GB SATA Drives | 01:31 |
| a5benwillis | erm SAS | 01:31 |
| SnrWhippy | deary me | 01:31 |
| SnrWhippy | thats a serious sytem | 01:31 |
| a5benwillis | its a dell poweredge 2850 | 01:32 |
| SnrWhippy | oh yeah i think our ibm's e series at work should be silimar apart from ram and hdd | 01:32 |
| SnrWhippy | they should be ok for esx perhaps but i need to convert the physical machine to a virtual before i can blank the server and start again | 01:34 |
| a5benwillis | I run the 2.5 version, havent tried the newest 3.0. Im not even sure what the new features are | 01:34 |
| SnrWhippy | is it not stupidly expensive | 01:34 |
| a5benwillis | Im sure it is ;-) | 01:35 |

| KetS | hi? | 01:57 |
| stgraber | hi | 01:58 |
| KetS | i'm looking for a lighter vesion of edubuntu tu install in a group of computers that are going to be sent to Africa, do you know if there's an Edubuntu version with xfce of even lower desktop manager? | 01:58 |
| stgraber | there was the idea to do that : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuXfceDesktop | 02:00 |
| kgoetz | KetS: not an 'out of the box', but you can DIY | 02:01 |
| stgraber | but I don't know if someone did a cdrom for that | 02:01 |
| stgraber | otherwise you can still get a xubuntu cd-rom | 02:01 |
| stgraber | and update it to install the educationnal packages | 02:01 |
| kgoetz | or edubuntu+install xfce, which would proably be eaiser then xfce+edubuntu stuff | 02:01 |
| stgraber | yup | 02:02 |
| KetS | uhmmm i guess | 02:04 |
| KetS | the problem it's that it should be installed in several computers and we don't have internet access there so we have to do it all manually in every desktop | 02:05 |
| kgoetz | KetS: why not make an install cd and use that to install all systems? | 02:06 |
| stgraber | so customizing an install cdrom should be the easiest way or maybe install a computer somewhere where you have internet and then do an image of the disk | 02:06 |
| KetS | kgoetz will be it very dificult? i've been long time using debian but don't know how to create an install CD | 02:06 |
| kgoetz | what i just did for work was install E16+standard ubuntu+extra apps then made mondo recover discs (2 cds for an install), its up to date, and has all customisations required | 02:06 |
| kgoetz | then the only major cost is making cds | 02:07 |
| kgoetz | hm. i also had +dist-upgrade | 02:07 |
| kgoetz | it takes a long time to make mondo discs, but its not hard | 02:07 |
| KetS | uhmmm do you have a guide (link) | 02:07 |
| KetS | ? | 02:07 |
| kgoetz | i was takene aback by it doing a nagware trick at me, but i havent had a chance to investigate it yet | 02:07 |
| cbx33 | w00t just finished our new website.... www.trinsite.co.uk | 02:07 |
| kgoetz | hm, no. you apt-get install mondo, then type 'sudo mondoarchive' and follow the prompts | 02:08 |
| kgoetz | (i did what a mate sugested, it worked without needing a guide) | 02:08 |
| KetS | okei, i'll try it, thanks very much | 02:08 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: neat site, fails validation ;) | 02:09 |
| stgraber | cbx33: looks great, just a little thing the bottom picture takes quite a lot of time to show there | 02:09 |
| kgoetz | gl KetS | 02:09 |
| cbx33 | just about to work :0 | 02:09 |
| cbx33 | refresh plz | 02:09 |
| kgoetz | ooh, more stuff | 02:09 |
| cbx33 | yup | 02:09 |
| stgraber | oo, we have the header now :) | 02:10 |
| cbx33 | likey? | 02:10 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: is nice, but heavy | 02:10 |
| cbx33 | indeed | 02:10 |
| stgraber | the server seems to be quite slow to serve the pictures ... | 02:10 |
| cbx33 | hmm seems ok here | 02:11 |
| kgoetz | stgraber: thats what i found | 02:11 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: whats your connection? | 02:11 |
| cbx33 | 8Mb :p | 02:11 |
| cbx33 | haha | 02:11 |
| kgoetz | i estimate about 500kb of images - is that correct? | 02:11 |
| stgraber | ~32kB/s during the picture download | 02:11 |
| stgraber | (when I can download at 800kB/s :)) | 02:12 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 02:12 |
| cbx33 | we're just about to start compressing imge | 02:12 |
| cbx33 | should speed things up | 02:12 |
| kgoetz | ah cool | 02:12 |
| stgraber | ok, good thing :) | 02:12 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: are you going to make it validate, or is it 'broken for a reason'? | 02:13 |
| cbx33 | how does it fail? | 02:13 |
| cbx33 | it gets a tick for standards complicane in firefox | 02:13 |
| kgoetz | 3 div related errors, 4 alt tags http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trinsite.co.uk%2F | 02:13 |

| stgraber | here as well but good morning anyway :) | 03:08 |
| a5benwillis | You guys ready for a tough question? | 03:08 |
| rockprincess | does anyone know how i could activate my 2nd network card? i just built it in.... | 03:08 |
| rockprincess | the 2nd network card is recognized by the system... | 03:09 |
| a5benwillis | is the hardware detected? | 03:09 |
| a5benwillis | ok | 03:09 |
| rockprincess | yep | 03:09 |
| a5benwillis | does it show up under network-config | 03:09 |
| a5benwillis | was it assignet an eth#? | 03:10 |
| rockprincess | where do it see if this is the case? | 03:10 |
| a5benwillis | hold on a sec | 03:12 |
| a5benwillis | ok im back | 03:18 |
| a5benwillis | if you go to System>Administration>networking | 03:18 |
| a5benwillis | does it show up there? | 03:18 |
| rockprincess | yes, i guess....but it says it's not configured...and the other one says DHCP | 03:19 |
| rockprincess | shall i configure the 2nd one to DHCP as well? | 03:20 |
| a5benwillis | on the main screen is the little box checked or does it have a line through it. | 03:20 |
| rockprincess | it is checked | 03:21 |
| a5benwillis | on the new card? | 03:21 |
| rockprincess | no the new one is blank, neither striked-through or checked | 03:21 |
| a5benwillis | oh ok, that makes sense | 03:22 |
| a5benwillis | go to properties | 03:22 |
| a5benwillis | check enable interface | 03:22 |
| rockprincess | ok | 03:22 |
| a5benwillis | or enable this connection | 03:22 |

| a5benwillis | cliebow_: SInce you're the nss expert ;-) lemme ask you a question | 10:14 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:15 |
| a5benwillis | I added an nss module to my nsswitch.config. | 10:15 |
| a5benwillis | like this: passwd: compat ncp | 10:15 |
| a5benwillis | I also added it to shadow. | 10:16 |
| === cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| a5benwillis | . | 10:16 |
| cbx33 | hi a5benwillis | 10:16 |
| a5benwillis | users are being looked up properly now via NCP and the nss module. Yay! | 10:16 |
| a5benwillis | hi cbx33 | 10:16 |
| cbx33 | excellent work | 10:16 |
| a5benwillis | but I still get an error when I try to log into SSH. argh | 10:17 |
| cbx33 | :( | 10:17 |
| a5benwillis | The user is found via NSS/NCP | 10:17 |
| a5benwillis | Authenticated successfully | 10:17 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:17 |
| a5benwillis | You would think I had it licked at this point. | 10:17 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:17 |
| a5benwillis | The last message I get in my auth.log is | 10:18 |
| a5benwillis | ssd[6995] : debug1: do_pam_account: called | 10:19 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:19 |
| a5benwillis | when this happens the ssh client side accepts the password and just sits there. | 10:19 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:19 |
| a5benwillis | Eventually another error is logged in auth.log | 10:19 |
| a5benwillis | Fatal: Timeout before authentication for 127.0.0.1 | 10:20 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:20 |
| a5benwillis | . | 10:20 |
