[03:59] Do you have 1 network card in the server, or two? [04:00] sbalneav: two network cards in the server, one is connected to the dhcp server and the other ones has a static ip address [04:02] rockprincess, put the output of ipconfig -a and your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [04:02] ok, 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] that would be the default setup ... [04:02] do I have to type sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart everytime I boot the thinclients over my server? [04:02] no [04:04] ogra: 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] thanks sbalneav & ogra : rockprincess is doing a project on edubuntu at the uni and it may influence adoption and attitudes [04:04] rockprincess: Was I correct with the way you've got the network layed out? [04:05] sbalneav: yeah you were absolutely right! [04:06] ok, what's the IP address of the static interface? 192.168.0.254? [04:06] sbalneav: yesterday juliux managed to boot one client over the network, so it all worked and i didn't change the setup at all.... === SimonAnibal [n=sruiz@66.244.123.100] has joined #edubuntu [04:07] sbalneav: I'm not sure, but I will take notes properly tomorrow....

[06:03] sbalneav: I am trying to get the LTSP server to authenticate via OpenLDAP/OpenDirectory on an OS X server [06:07] hrm [06:07] apparently recovery mode isn't dead [06:07] just being very slow all of the sudden [06:08] now its to starting networking... [06:09] that sparc install is exlcusively server..will ubuntu-desktop go on there ok? [06:27] ahh [06:27] finally a clue [06:28] it looks like it has a incorect LDAP server ip address somewhere [06:28] its looking at 127.0.0.1 instead of the real server [06:28] still it should just move on to local authentication I would think [06:28] you nee a proper fallback to local accounts [06:29] what were the changes to your nsswitch.conf ? [06:29] if you get the order wrong, udev doesnt like that [06:29] passwd: ldap compat [06:29] group: ldap compat [06:29] those were the only changes, as per the how-to [06:29] switch the order, that

127.0.0.1 even though I configured it with the right address [06:31] though there was some weirdness during install [06:31] I will try reconfiguring the package [06:32] ping ogra [06:32] cbx33, pong

[07:03] LaserJock, i just tested qcad, it starts a language selector in the beginning and german seems to be fine at least after i selected it [07:03] ah ok [07:03] looks like it had the transalations builtin [07:04] pitti just said that it wouldn't be able to use Rosetta [07:04] right [07:04] so it was up to you whether you wanted it on the CD or not [07:04] thats a bit ugly [07:04] but I had him approve it anyway so if we did want it it's there [07:05] i'll add it with the next -meta change [07:05] I think it's the best CAD program we have [07:05] it's fine for the add-on CD# [07:05] and CAD is very much in demand [07:05] right [07:05] i saldy didnt manage in time to repackage scribus-ng as scribus :( [07:06] else i would have replaced the package in main, DTP is as important as CAD [07:06] I see [07:06] yeah [07:06] cmake is an evil beast i'm not familiar enough with yet [07:06] I'm going to make a push and see if I can't get octave === RichEd-1 [n=richard@217.205.109.249] has joined #edubuntu === skirk [n=skirk@ip-103-163.sn2.eutelia.it] has joined #edubuntu [07:26] Anyone have an easy fix for the grub error 18 problem after install in Vmware???

[09:30] no [09:30] ogra, can i ask a quick question? [09:30] g-a-i should care [09:31] i have an app written in python..was going to try a C port to gain more knowledge.....know of a good primer on the net? [09:31] LaserJock, all apps should have a .desktop file in the g-a-i data directory on the CD ... [09:31] what is UES ? [09:32] ogra: do we need to do that or is that automatic? [09:32] the edubuntu conference [09:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UES-Sevilla [09:32] LaserJock, the packages need to have it [09:32] ahh [09:32] mvo knows about automatisms === RichEd [n=richard@george.kkhotels.co.uk] has joined #edubuntu [09:33] k, maybe I'll try to poke him about it [09:33] i think there are some hacks in LP so that existing .desktop files are grabbed [09:33] just so I know how it's done and make sure the 2nd CD apps have everything they need [09:33] or in app-install-data [09:34] cbx333, not really ... Cis the only thing i really learned from books ... [09:34] ogra, heh, guess I'd better hit the books then [09:34] Thinking then I can help out in even more ways [09:35] cbx33: I've been learning C++ with gchemutils [09:35] yeh [09:35] i remember [09:35] it's a good excercise [09:35] i know [09:35] so I'm gonna port phimage to C [09:36] which it will benefit from === cliebow [n=cliebow@smoothwallkludge.ellsworth-hs.ellsworth.k12.me.us] has joined #edubuntu [09:36] C is not the problem ... automake and friends are :P [09:36] ogra, don;t say that :p [09:37] but a single C file shouldn't be a problem [09:37] besides I need experience in packaging compilable packages [09:37] or more exp should I say [09:37] people just generally use gedit for C? [09:38] c/C++ fro ma file creation POV [09:38] what's the diff? [09:40] sad, I was not aware of the UES meeting, sounds very interresting [09:41] cbx33: the diff between C and C++? [09:42] yeh [09:42] ogra, mdz is quick on the old minutes isn't he [09:43] cbx33: I *think* it's mostly the object orientedness [09:43] dunno, is he ? [09:44] LOL [09:44] haha [09:44] I meant to type that over here [09:44] phhhy [09:44] Now I've made an *ss of myself :) [09:45] oh, I've seen much worse [09:45] not from you of course ;-) [09:45] from MEEE [09:46] Oh, I've made enough of an idiot of myself online to last two lifetimes. [09:46] I've just now filled up ubuntu-devel with drivel. [09:46] My levity was meant for this channel :) [09:47] sbalneav: we understand :) [09:48] sbalneav: now, your name is on ubuntu-dev in the proposed members section - were you planning to apply for MOTU? [09:48] I am, but I need to get past probably another month of h*ll here at work [09:48] ok [09:48] the process has changed, etc [09:48] and he needs some more uploads [09:48] yep [09:49] We went live with a new program at work, and I've not had anywhere near the time I'd like to put in since about mid november. [09:49] ogra: we'll just have to follow up on all the proposed members, reminding them of the new process [09:49] Things are toning down now, but it's taken a bit. [09:49] sbalneav, nobody had (apparently) feisty looks lie edgy with new ltsp sound and second CD [09:49] *like [09:50] I'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] ogra: hey, the sound alone's a big step forward. [09:50] at least there was progress [09:51] yes, but three of 8 specs is extremly lame ... === LaserJock is a loser :( [09:52] Most of them were the ldap stuff. I assume that got deferred? [09:52] feisty was the worst average wrt specs since edubuntu exists ... [09:52] LaserJock: I did worse [09:52] LaserJock, me too ... i wasnt better this release [09:53] sbalneav, 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 stuff [09:54] ogra: 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] great [09:54] sabdfl will love you for that [09:54] he was nagging me recently [09:55] after herd5 is out i'll finally bump the ltsp version [09:55] We finally just decided that unless we lock ourselves in a room, it will never get done. [09:55] So that's what we're doing in Toronto this weekend. [09:55] well, its trivial [09:55] an edgy tarbal exists, just take that one [09:55] If you're going to be around, we might ask you some questions. [09:55] all you need is some scripts for the server side [09:55] sure [09:55] Nah, I think we're going to use the feisty one. [09:56] We want the sexy sexy sound. [09:56] that needs a lot on the server side ... [09:56] gst pulse plugin, libasound-plugins ... [09:56] Just gstreamer, right? [09:56] asoundconf ... [09:56] no [09:56] it emulates an alsa device on top of pulse [09:57] right. [09:57] hstreame just uses the alsasink from its autodetection :) [09:57] *gstreamer [09:58] (gst-pulse is needed for the gnome volume control ... not needed if you use alsamixer) === clm [n=clm@196.38.218.25] has joined #edubuntu [10:02] pete here by any chance?

[10:46] mvo: I think we could do it like this: a) define a new applications.menu in menu-data on the CD that has a "tasks" category (or something like this) [10:47] mvo: and then we need to get three desktop files into the dir on the CD that install a collection of packages [10:47] [1:41pm] mvo: but I think it would be better to talk with ogra about this (maybe the three of us + colin) [10:47] that sounds like getting hardly a FF exception [10:47] mhm [10:49] i.e. rather like a big change === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #edubuntu [11:25] :-D [11:25] http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/02/20/197251 [11:32] wow, very nice [11:33] hey bimberi [11:34] ogra: good to see some press [11:34] argh, the link to the NSW Department of Education article 404's :/ [11:34] article by elkbuntu, too [11:34] hi ajmitch :) [11:34] trailing ) on the url [11:34] ooh yes, i missed the author!

[12:07] and it just fires up more flames on the GNOME vs KDE war [12:07] should I mail melissa to comment as the author ... if we comment, it mght start some flaming [12:07] no, let them advertise if they are happy === LaserJock puts on his fire-proof suit [12:08] overall it's a nice article though ... will make some people think and visit i reckon [12:08] yep [12:08] i like it [12:09] the NSW people may be worth inviting to the summit ... if we can get the right link from melissa [12:09] i'll google the reference to see if I can find the correct page [12:10] we should also invite someone from the SA government after their announcement last week :) [12:10] *ZS [12:10] err [12:10] *ZA === ogra hates his kbd some days ... [12:11] which announcement ?
