[12:23] l [12:37] sorted whats this bit about? None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your [12:37] running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for [12:37] your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system) [12:39] yup [12:39] i take it i say yes then i have to find my c compiler if one is installed by default [12:39] you need to compile [12:39] no [12:39] this is what you do [12:39] quit the config program [12:39] and then do this [12:39] k [12:40] sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers [12:40] i think that's it [12:40] ok [12:40] ydon;t do that [12:40] do [12:40] ok [12:40] sudo apt-get install build-essential [12:41] then do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [12:42] then re run [12:42] sudo vmware-config.pl [12:42] and it should compile and load the module perfectly [12:43] ok excellent i'll give it a shot [12:43] np [12:45] brilliant its the headers i didnt have that explains it [12:46] heh [12:46] all working now? [12:52] your an absolute hero! === SnrWhippy [n=SnrWhipp@88-111-58-185.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #edubuntu === a5benwillis [n=benwilli@71-12-14-250.dhcp.gnvl.sc.charter.com] has joined #edubuntu [01:05] arggg it just wont start [01:05] what wont start [01:05] vmware just installed it [01:05] did you configure it? [01:05] yeah it all went ok [01:06] just when i go to click on it in system tools it just whirrs a bit and stops [01:06] try running it from sudo [01:07] how did you install it? apt-get? or is it the beta version from tar.gz? [01:08] beta [01:08] says its not corrects installed for this system arggg [01:08] back to the drawing boards [01:09] Im running the beta [01:09] works just fine [01:10] Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. [01:10] None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your [01:10] running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for [01:10] your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] [01:10] Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. [01:10] What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running [01:10] kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/build/include] [01:11] does that look about right [01:12] yes [01:12] mine did the same thing [01:12] ahh i wonder if its to do with madwifi [01:13] you should still be able to install it. [01:13] all default settings? [01:13] yes [01:14] when it finishes installing it wall ask to run vmware-config [01:14] let it run. [01:14] then run vmware with sudo the first time [01:17] just says its not correctly configured [01:17] i'll have a mess about [01:18] i think its probably something to do with kernel version or the fact i've bridged the wireless with vmnet0 [01:18] and it fails bizarrly in the setup [01:19] how do i check my kernel version? [01:23] sry Im back [01:23] let me catch up [01:24] arggg yeah it is the damn wireless card [01:24] i disabled networking in the config and it starts no probs [01:24] cat /proc/version [01:25] cheers yeah version is right [01:25] my wireless works, but, when I do vpn from my windows guest I have to use wired [01:25] but I have an intel pro card [01:26] yeah i've got a dodgy atheros [01:26] uses madwifi [01:26] which is causing me some grief [01:26] is this edubuntu? [01:26] yeah [01:26] host or guest [01:27] host [01:27] interesting [01:27] i havent got to the guest stage yet [01:27] i run ubuntu edgy on my laptop [01:27] but I do run edu in vmware [01:27] I also have it running under vmware ESX server [01:28] ive never used esx server is it any good [01:29] i'd love to see a proper vmware infrastructure working [01:30] yes, ESX is the way to go if you have the hardware. Its very picky [01:30] it runs on a modified Fedora kernel and uses very very little of the systems resources. [01:30] I have it running on a dual Xeon 3.6 with 6GB ram [01:31] 400GB SATA Drives [01:31] erm SAS [01:31] deary me [01:31] thats a serious sytem [01:32] its a dell poweredge 2850 [01:32] oh yeah i think our ibm's e series at work should be silimar apart from ram and hdd [01:34] 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] I run the 2.5 version, havent tried the newest 3.0.

[01:58] hi [01:58] 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? [02:00] there was the idea to do that : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuXfceDesktop [02:01] KetS: not an 'out of the box', but you can DIY [02:01] but I don't know if someone did a cdrom for that [02:01] otherwise you can still get a xubuntu cd-rom [02:01] and update it to install the educationnal packages [02:01] or edubuntu+install xfce, which would proably be eaiser then xfce+edubuntu stuff [02:02] yup [02:04] uhmmm i guess [02:05] 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 [02:06] KetS: why not make an install cd and use that to install all systems? [02:06] 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] 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] 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 [02:07] then the only major cost is making cds [02:07] hm. i also had +dist-upgrade [02:07] it takes a long time to make mondo discs, but its not hard [02:07] uhmmm do you have a guide (link) [02:07] ? [02:07] i was takene aback by it doing a nagware trick at me, but i havent had a chance to investigate it yet [02:07] w00t just finished our new website.... www.trinsite.co.uk [02:08] hm, no. you apt-get install mondo, then type 'sudo mondoarchive' and follow the prompts [02:08] (i did what a mate sugested, it worked without needing a guide) [02:08] okei, i'll try it, thanks very much [02:09] cbx33: neat site, fails validation ;) [02:09] cbx33: looks great, just a little thing the bottom picture takes quite a lot of time to show there [02:09] gl KetS [02:09] just about to work :0 [02:09] refresh plz [02:09] ooh, more stuff [02:09] yup [02:10] oo, we have the header now :) [02:10] likey?

[03:08] does anyone know how i could activate my 2nd network card? i just built it in.... [03:09] the 2nd network card is recognized by the system... [03:09] is the hardware detected? [03:09] ok [03:09] yep [03:09] does it show up under network-config [03:10] was it assignet an eth#? [03:10] where do it see if this is the case? [03:12] hold on a sec [03:18] ok im back [03:18] if you go to System>Administration>networking [03:18] does it show up there? [03:19] yes, i guess....but it says it's not configured...and the other one says DHCP [03:20] shall i configure the 2nd one to DHCP as well? [03:20] on the main screen is the little box checked or does it have a line through it. [03:21] it is checked [03:21] on the new card? [03:21] no the new one is blank, neither striked-through or checked [03:22] oh ok, that makes sense [03:22] go to properties [03:22] check enable interface [03:22] ok [03:22] or enable this connection === caravena [n=caravena@188-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu [03:22] then click ok [03:22] then check that first box [03:22] configuration: automatic configuration (DHCP) right?
