ToddEDMhey guys, first time on Edubuntu....05:25
ToddEDMso far so good05:25
ToddEDMwhat are the differences between this and regular Ubuntu, just the software packages?05:26
ToddEDMand skin05:26
LaserJockwell, kinda05:30
edubuntugirlLaserJock: by the way, highvoltage told me to tell you 'http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/26/solid-state-laser-sustains-67-kilowatts-approaching-battlefield/' 13 hours, 39 minutes and 33 seconds ago (on Mon Feb 26 16:50:33 2007)05:30
LaserJockthere is some package difference that are pretty significant05:30
ToddEDMoh05:30
LaserJockEdubuntu includes an LTSP server and educational software05:31
LaserJockbut they are both Gnome based and come from the same software repositories05:31
ToddEDMim trying to install it on a separate partition on my HDD, no luck, it keeps freezing05:31
LaserJockhow much ram do you have?05:35
ToddEDM51205:37
ToddEDMsorry, 1 gog05:37
ToddEDMgig05:37
ToddEDMamd turion 64 x205:37
ToddEDMi think i might download the latest version, and burn it again05:38
bimberiThere might be a "check the cd for defects" boot option05:39
ToddEDMlol i did that, but i was too impatient05:42
ToddEDMit is the AMD64 one i got, i might get the regular iso05:42
bimberihehe (impatient)05:44
ToddEDMit seemed to be taking too long05:44
ToddEDMi think i was laying in bed too, so i was tired05:44
bimberiyes, i don't think i've ever let it run fully either :)05:45
ToddEDMi dont need to have an active internet connection while installing do i ?05:48
bimberino05:49
bimberiif you do I think it will load updated packages during the install (not certain though)05:50

=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu
rockprincesshmmmm03:59
sbalneavrockprincess: OK, maybe you could tell us a bit about the network.03:59
sbalneavDo you have 1 network card in the server, or two?03:59
rockprincesssbalneav: two network cards in the server, one is connected to the dhcp server and the other ones has a static ip address04:00
ograrockprincess, put the output of ipconfig -a and your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/04:02
sbalneavok, so one of the interfaces (I'm assuming the backbone) is obtaining an IP address via dhcp.  The other one has a static address.  I'm assuming that network card's connected to a switch, where the terminals hang off of, yes?04:02
ograthat would be the default setup ...04:02
rockprincessdo I have to type sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart everytime I boot the thinclients over my server?04:02
ograno04:02
rockprincessogra: ok, I'll do that tomorrow, because I'm not at the school right now, and i can't connect to the irc servers in the school, i think the firewalls are blocking them....04:04
RichEdthanks sbalneav & ogra : rockprincess is doing a project on edubuntu at the uni and it may influence adoption and attitudes04:04
sbalneavrockprincess: Was I correct with the way you've got the network layed out?04:04
rockprincesssbalneav: yeah you were absolutely right!04:05
sbalneavok, what's the IP address of the static interface?  192.168.0.254?04:06
rockprincesssbalneav: yesterday juliux managed to boot one client over the network, so it all worked and i didn't change the setup at all....04:06

a5benwillisIm looking at the pam_ncp_auth.so source now to see if any changes might help.04:33
ograwhere did it fail ?04:33
a5benwillisSome of themodules functions dontplay well with SSH04:34
a5benwillisIfyou have time I can go throughthe whole process? If not I can another time?04:34
ograno, i'm preparing a milestone CD atm ... did you try to switch off privilege separation in ssh ?04:36
a5benwillisYes04:36
a5benwillisMaybe we can talk about it another day. It was quite an ordeal. Im tryig to switch itto xdmcp now.04:36

Petarisogra: I have tried that how-to on LDAP auth that you pointed me to several times all on clean installs but every time the machine becomes un-bootable.  Even to recovery mode.05:47
=== Rondom [n=Rondom@p57A957FD.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu
PetarisBut I don't think it is a authentication issue as it doesn't even get that far05:48
Petarisfor recovery mode it dies after finishing /scripts/init-bottom05:48
PetarisI can't see what it dies on in normal mode05:49

PetarisI can only imagine that PAM has something to do with it as that is where the changes lie05:50
sbalneavPetaris: What is it you're trying to do with LDAP?05:56
sbalneavWe use OpenLDAP here for authentication.05:57
Petarissbalneav: I am trying to get the LTSP server to authenticate via OpenLDAP/OpenDirectory on an OS X server06:03
Petarishrm06:07
Petarisapparently recovery mode isn't dead06:07
Petarisjust being very slow all of the sudden06:07
Petarisnow its to starting networking...06:08
cliebowthat sparc install is exlcusively server..will ubuntu-desktop go on there ok?06:09
Petarisahh06:27
Petarisfinally a clue06:27
Petarisit looks like it has a incorect LDAP server ip address somewhere06:28
Petarisits looking at 127.0.0.1 instead of the real server06:28
Petarisstill it should just move on to local authentication I would think06:28
ograyou nee a proper fallback to local accounts06:28
ograwhat were the changes to your nsswitch.conf ?06:29
ograif you get the order wrong, udev doesnt like that06:29
Petarispasswd: ldap compat06:29
Petarisgroup: ldap compat06:29
Petaristhose were the only changes, as per the how-to06:29
ograswitch the order, that will fix it06:29
Petarisahh06:30
Petarisok06:30
ograpasswd:         compat ldap06:30
ogragroup:          compat ldap06:30
PetarisI will boot a live cd and do so06:30
Petarisalso strange that nss is looking for the ldap server at 127.0.0.1 even though I configured it with the right address06:31
Petaristhough there was some weirdness during install06:31
PetarisI will try reconfiguring the package06:31

LaserJock_ogra: did you see my comments a long time ago on qcad?06:58
ograLaserJock, nope06:58
ograany probs with it ?06:58
LaserJock_ogra: qcad was approved for Main06:58
LaserJock_but pitti was a little hesitant becuase it doesn't have gettext support06:59
ograoh, damned i wish i had known that half n hour ago ...06:59
ograi just updated seeds and metapackages06:59
LaserJock_yeah, I guess I should have emailed you. I haven't seen you on IRC for some time06:59
ograhmm, so it has no translations at all ?07:00
LaserJock_I'm not sure07:00
ograi was travelling, came back monday night07:00
cliebowogra: that is newe and improved from my own of a few weeks ago?07:01
ogracliebow, its a default edgy chroot07:01
ograif you already have one it shouldnt differ07:01
cliebowvery good..07:01
ograLaserJock, i just tested qcad, it starts a language selector in the beginning and german seems to be fine at least after i selected it07:03
LaserJock_ah ok07:03
ogralooks like it had the transalations builtin07:03
LaserJock_pitti just said that it wouldn't be able to use Rosetta07:04
ograright07:04
LaserJock_so it was up to you whether you wanted it on the CD or not07:04
ograthats a bit ugly07:04
LaserJock_but I had him approve it anyway so if we did want it it's there07:04
ograi'll add it with the next -meta change07:05
LaserJock_I think it's the best CAD program we have07:05
ograit's fine for the add-on CD#07:05
LaserJock_and CAD is very much in demand07:05
ograright07:05
ograi saldy didnt manage in time to repackage scribus-ng as scribus :(07:05
ograelse i would have replaced the package in main, DTP is as important as CAD07:06

LaserJockogra: have you tried out the add-on CD functionality09:28

ajmitchogra: we'll just have to follow up on all the proposed members, reminding them of the new process09:49
sbalneavThings are toning down now, but it's taken a bit.09:49
ograsbalneav, nobody had (apparently) feisty looks lie edgy with new ltsp sound and second CD09:49
ogra*like09:49
sbalneavI'm now the boss here as well, so in addition to the new program, I've also had personel stuff to deal with.09:50
sbalneavogra: hey, the sound alone's a big step forward.09:50
LaserJockat least there was progress09:50
ograyes, but three of 8 specs is extremly lame ...09:51
=== LaserJock is a loser :(
sbalneavMost of them were the ldap stuff.  I assume that got deferred?09:52
ografeisty was the worst average wrt specs since edubuntu exists ...09:52
ajmitchLaserJock: I did worse09:52
ograLaserJock, me too ... i wasnt better this release09:52
ograsbalneav, yeps, everything depends on ldap ... and ldap has major bugs with ssh as well as i want a better pam plugin handling before even starting to think about the other stuff09:53
sbalneavogra: We're shooting for some good news though: jammcq and I are meeting this weekend.  We're going to get the ltsp5 tarballs out, based on the Ubuntu stuff, so that will be a big pr win.09:54
ogragreat09:54
ograsabdfl will love you for that09:54
ograhe was nagging me recently09:54
ograafter herd5 is out i'll finally bump the ltsp version09:55

sbalneavSo that's what we're doing in Toronto this weekend.09:55
ograwell, its trivial09:55
ograan edgy tarbal exists, just take that one09:55
sbalneavIf you're going to be around, we might ask you some questions.09:55
ograall you need is some scripts for the server side09:55
ograsure09:55
sbalneavNah, I think we're going to use the feisty one.09:55
sbalneavWe want the sexy sexy sound.09:56
ograthat needs a lot on the server side ...09:56
ogragst   pulse plugin, libasound-plugins ...09:56
sbalneavJust gstreamer, right?09:56
ograasoundconf ...09:56
ograno09:56
