[07:23] So workstations networked off a server is possible, and all pointed to the server as a single source of package updates is possible ... but each w/s will still have it's own o/s and application files. [07:24] cliebow: yep ... but check on #ubuntu for more info ... I don't think we've produced an edubuntu for spac yet [07:24] *sparc [07:24] Thanks RichEd,.. [07:26] eckhart: and all the usual stuff like setting up workstatsions to save to the shared server storage only ... is all possible, but true fat clients are only in the pipeline, not available till later this year [07:26] ok, thanks for the info :-) [07:27] we got offered a quad..make a better ,ooring prob than a server..but then that goes for a lot fo my gear [07:27] mooring that is === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu [07:54] ping ogra === eckhart_ [n=eckhart@wikipedia/eckhart] has joined #edubuntu [08:06] Back from lunch === pirast [n=martin@p508B269B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #edubuntu === Nik0 [n=lewmnik@dsl-hkigw8-feedf900-96.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined #edubuntu === Nik0 is away: Gone away for now. === administrator [n=administ@CPE000347e9898a-CM0011ae00c1f8.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #edubuntu [09:35] I have a question regarding conf for default session on thin client [09:35] Is there anyone that can help me?

[10:15] a5benwillis: Yeah, what was the result from netstat -an | grep ":177 "? [10:15] sbalneav: "udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:* " [10:15] ok. 1) Got any firewalls on this box? [10:15] its just a out of the box edubuntu server [10:16] ok [10:16] no firewalls between them either.. [10:16] 2) What kind of switch/hub you using? [10:16] both the server and the client are in a Cisco 3750 stack [10:17] Check the cisco [10:17] Betcha it's blocking UDP [10:17] We've had that happen before. [10:17] it shouldnt be [10:17] there are no ACL applied to these interfaces [10:18] question [10:18] In /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf shouldntxdmcp be enabled? [10:19] maybe its defferent for ubuntu? [10:19] check gdm.conf-custom [10:20] ok its in there [10:20] udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:* [10:20] oops [10:20] . [10:20] [xdmcp] [10:20] Enable=true [10:20] MaxSessions=48 [10:20] yep [10:20] thats ok. [10:21] did you see my lst.conf file paste? [10:21] Yup, looked fine. [10:21] erm ;ts [10:21] lts [10:21] Got a regular, non-smart switch you can sub in to test? [10:21] We've had several people in here with Cisco switches that turned out to be the problem. [10:22] probably not but I can check into theudp blocking possibility. I configure the network so Ihavefree reign [10:22] :) [10:23] hi, does anyone know how to set thin client to kdestart as the default? [10:24] I'm using Edubuntu 6.10 [10:24] pt109: It should start whatever your default X session is. [10:25] Sof if you set KDE to be the default, that should do it. [10:25] Do you know the file I should edit? [10:25] looking [10:27] Well, I think you can set it using the alternatives system [10:27] Would that be the Xsession file then? [10:27] the terminal executes x-session-manager, which points to /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager [10:28] OK, I'll give that a try. [10:28] and /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager points to gnome-session [10:28] OK [10:28] btw, have you noticed that you need to shut down and restart [10:29] so if you set /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager to point to startkde, or whatever KDE uses to kick off a kde session, that should do it. [10:29] thin client to get sound working for other users? [10:29] When I log out and log in as another user, regardless of gnome or kde [10:29] pt109: yes, this is a common problem. It's ESD, which, quite frankly, sucks. [10:29] there is no sound, [10:29] However, the good news is, it's being replaces by Pulseaudio in the next version. [10:30] but when I reboot thin client, then no problem with sound [10:30] Which DOESN'T suck. [10:30] that's 7.04 ? [10:30] yep. [10:30] which stands for April 2007? [10:30] yeppers [10:30] "Real Soon Now" [10:30] one last question. [10:30] Certainly [10:31] When I try to play frozen bubble on thin client no sound - any suggestions? [10:32] Ummm, if I remember correctly, FB doesn't use a proper audio stack, but rather simply cat's sound to /dev/dsp, which won't always get forwarded to the thin client. [10:32] There's some fiddling which might work, or not. Best way to fix it would be to get FB to use gstreamer, for proper network audio. [10:33] OK, seems year(s) ago I got it working on the thin client that was a [10:33] pentium I [10:33] I think Jim M. helped me - but that was a while ago... [10:33] Yeah, there's a shim that can intercept the /dev/dsp calls, but it's gotten unreliable under the 2.6 kernel series. [10:34] it was more reliable under 2.4 [10:34] OK [10:34] cool [10:34] I like Edubuntu - great idea [10:34] really, NOTHING should write to /dev/dsp. Anything that uses gstreamer, "just works" for remote sound. [10:34] We're getting highschools to use it in Toronto [10:34] Ontario [10:35] about 3-4 right now, but slowly growing... [10:35] Cool, I'm in Winnipeg. [10:35] What's the weather like there? [10:35] Mild, at the moment. [10:36] kinda cold here. Snowing [10:37] We sent you our weather system. [10:37] :) [10:37] ;( [10:37] I'll be visiting Toronto for a few days starting Mar 1. [10:38] the /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager [10:38] points to /usr/bin/gnome-session [10:38] which is an executable file [10:38] yep. [10:38] what you'll want to do is something like: [10:38] ln -s /usr/bin/startkde /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager [10:39] OK [10:39] Will that "clobber" what is there in the front [10:39] (i.e. login screen to not allow other sessions like gnome?) [10:39] The terminal just starts "x-session-manager", which is just a symbolic link to whatever session manager you want to use. [10:39] I see [10:40] so it would point to kdm? Is that correct term [10:40] No, you'll still be able to SELECT gnome, it just won't be the default if you don't pick anything [10:40] yeah. [10:40] cool [10:40] learn something new everyday [10:40] and I thought Xwindows was a big Black Hole [10:40] lol [10:42] if the command indicates that the file already exists that'l still OK, right? [10:42] It just links it - correct? [10:42] Should be [10:42] quick way to tell is: [10:42] ls -la /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager [10:43] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2006-10-23 14:40 /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager -> /usr/bin/gnome-session [10:43] looks like that on mine. [10:43] Yours should be -> /usr/bin/startkde [10:43] mine too [10:44] O [10:44] I'm just booting up [10:44] OK [10:44] What does update-alternatives --list x-session-manager give you? [10:45] Ah, this may be easier [10:45] /usr/bin/gnome-session [10:45] /usr/bin/startkde [10:45] aha [10:45] update-alternatives --config x-session-manager [10:46] gottcha [10:46] cool [10:47] and then it should set the link for you automagically [10:47] did it [10:47] another trick to put in my pocket. [10:47] I assume that login screen can be modifiable? [10:48] Would it allow for a browser window of users? (probably not - right?) [10:50] You have been very helpful :) [10:50] Thanks for your assistance! [10:51] Ummm, I think you can have some kind of user selector, but I'm not sure. [10:51] Well you certainly have helped me today! [10:51] I guess you are saying to wait until [10:51] the next release to fix the sound issue when logging out - right? [10:52] Yeah, that'd be my recommendation. [10:52] I gotta go, but If I find a solution to get fb working, I;ll let you know :) [10:52] Cool.
