[06:25] What I feel the need to do is give back to the community that allows me to use software that is stable and meeting my needs [06:25] that's cool [06:25] I have join a loco team [06:25] well, we always need testing, advocacy, and support [06:26] At the current time I am attending college for Computer Science. Thus term I am learning java [06:26] yotux: have you tried out the Herd 5 Edubuntu release? [06:26] Not yet I was thinking about it [06:26] that really would be helpful [06:27] I did some testing and using of kubuntu and found a small bug [06:27] I have a launch pad account [06:27] it's harder for Edubuntu to get testers I think [06:27] For me I need a mix of a system that is some what stable to make my gf happy [06:28] could I test herd five via vmware server? [06:28] yes [06:28] For me I have bounced between distro a little bit [06:28] like slackware a little [06:29] obviously some of the hardware testing won't work right [06:29] but vmware is perfectly fine for software testing [06:29] ok [06:29] I am upgrading edubuntu to edgy right now [06:30] for me my system is laid out with 4 partitions. they are /, /home, /usr/local/ ,and /ent -- for music and what not [06:31] so I have the room to store and keep things separate. [06:31] ok [06:32] Strange to ask, but what is testing of herd five [06:32] is that just using it an seeing what doesn't work? [06:33] basically yes [06:33] I would like to learn how to package but the packaging manual scares me to a degree [06:33] which packaging manual?

[07:58] hi [07:58] I want to know the complete process of setting up a LTSP-ed lab, with one server, and 10-thin-clients. I don't know much about hardware/linux. But i love ubuntu enough, and am ambitious/enthusiastic enough to go about this project alone. Can some of you tell me the keywords/websites/other-useful things, that i will have to research to accomplish this project? And the main things required? And is it really complex? [07:59] Anyone...? [08:00] kenthomson: that's not a simple answer [08:00] and most ppl here aren't even at work yet, their PCs are just idling online [08:00] but stick around [08:07] kenthomson: do you have any hardware already? [08:10] LaserJock, alteast some is awake sorry for the dealy [08:10] LaserJock, none at all [08:10] LaserJock, i am going to purchase all of that [08:11] *-someone in the first reply === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu [08:14] Helooo...Helooooo....Anybody-there......?--(echo)--..---((echo))---...----(((echo)))----......-----(((((echo)))))-----....... [08:14] one thing you should not skimp on, is your network switches ... make a massive difference [08:14] TeePOG, go one i am listening [08:14] *on [08:15] well, not much more to tell ... your thin clients can be commodity hardware, pII or so [08:15] right [08:15] harddrives not necessary [08:16] a server with 2GB of RAM and a P4-level CPU can handle ~30clients [08:16] LaserJock: correct me if i'm wrong [08:16] TeePOG, may i have a web-source/keywords/list-of-important things to consider while i go about researching for this project? maybe web-sites/google-keywords, anything? What brand hardware is supported by OS community? Intel/AMD, nvidia/ATi, soundcard, netwrok_switched/ D_link/pthers. Anything [08:16] TeePOG, i don't think he is here [08:17] kenthomson: these are many of the developers of edubuntu ... meaning that they are actually at work on this thing, right now [08:17] haste will bvring you nowhere, but there's no better place for help than here [08:18] TeePOG, i shall wait, but is there anything you gottu say, in-terms of resources? [08:18] i'm looking atm ... i'm not using ltsp on ubuntu, i've got a fat-client lab, so i need to check for these things myself [08:19] TeePOG, i can wait [08:22] http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/linux_terminal_server [08:22] TeePOG, i studied that case-study long back and that is what inspired me to go about this! [08:22] indeed [08:22] ... what more do you need? [08:23] http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted [08:23] http://www.mail-archive.com/edubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00114.html [08:23] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPFatClients [08:23] well, I think TeePOG is right [08:24] making sure you have good network connections is important [08:24] because you are going to have a lot of traffic [08:25] i mean, we can't really offer more help until you have more specific questions, ie. busy with the installation.. [08:25] thin clients can be pretty much anything that is network-bootable (PXE or etherboot) [08:25] i will add a couple things though [08:25] LaserJock, ok [08:25] 1. make sure your network cabling is done professionally [08:25] or you WILL have weird issues with clients not connecting / disconnecting [08:26] LaserJock, i want to support 10 thin clients, could you tell me the hardware configuration for the server.? [08:26] TeePOG, ok [08:27] kenthomson: that sort of depends on what you want to run on the clients [08:27] 2. if you want video playback on the clients, make sure you have a gigabit ethernet NIC on the server, a full-duplex gigabit-ethernet switch, and 100mbit on the clients ... that way, each client has the full 100mbit to/from the server [08:28] LaserJock, the thin clients are going to be mainly used to tutor extremely young kids <15years. They will run things like basic_word_processing, simple-games, drawing apps, nothing ever hardware intensive [08:28] that case study link i pasted, actually has a pretty good spec listing already kenthomson [08:28] TeePOG, i know, i know [08:28] kenthomson: I think you'll want something around 1GB of RAM [08:29] LaserJock, go on... [08:29] probably at least a 2GHz processor [08:30] indeed ... i find the core 2 duos handle very well [08:30] and a gigabit ethernet network [08:30] LaserJock, and what for the thin-clients? [08:30] half a TB or disk should give you enough disk space for scalability [08:31] something > 533MHz [08:31] doesn't need a lot of RAM [08:31] LaserJock, i am looking for figures [08:31] i find 64MB RAM is more than enough [08:32] pII-level CPU ~300MHz or more [08:33] kenthomson: and just make sure the thin clients are network-bootable [08:33] LaserJock, i would like to repeat a few things i said above, in-case you missed; I want to know the complete process of setting up a LTSP-ed lab, with one server, and 10-thin-clients. I don't know much about hardware/linux. But i love ubuntu enough, and am ambitious/enthusiastic enough to go about this project alone. Can some of you tell me the keywords/websites/other-useful things, that i will have to research to accomplish this project? And the m [08:33] ain things required? And is it really complex? may i have a web-source/keywords/list-of-important things to consider while i go about researching for this project? maybe web-sites/google-keywords, anything? What brand hardware is supported by OS community? Intel/AMD, nvidia/ATi, soundcard, netwrok_switched/ D_link/pthers. Anything...? [08:34] http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/ltsp-hw.html [08:34] 1. your 3d-acceleration won't work, so don't bother about which graphics [08:34] TeePOG, thanks! you have been really kind [08:34] kenthomson: we gave you hardware requirements [08:34] LaserJock, right! [08:35] kenthomson: now you just need to install Edubuntu :-) [08:35] 2. sound might or might not work, so disregard sound ... anyway, most soundcards these days are the AC'976 chipset anyway [08:35] LaserJock, and ofcourse purchase all that, i will have to look for motherboards/thier-chipsets, netwrok swtiches, a lot before you say that... [08:36] anything i should particularly avoid? [08:36] TeePOG, you have my full attention go on.. [08:36] not much else to say kenthomson [08:36] kenthomson: you really should test it out before buying all that [08:36] kenthomson: you can try it on two machines [08:37] LaserJock, as in...? I am going to assemble all this. [08:37] LCD screens tend to be misdetected, so be prepared to do some xorg.conf hacking [08:37] TeePOG, ok [08:37] or use CRTs [08:37] kenthomson: install Edubuntu on a machine to act as the server [08:37] kenthomson: then run a crossover cable to some other machine [08:37] LaserJock, ok so a simple client-server 1:1 first? [08:37] it can play the thin client [08:37] sure [08:38] you are talking about a lot of money for a server and 10 clients + networking [08:38] you should test it out first to make sure you know what you're doing [08:38] LaserJock, right! [08:38] any machine these days will be able to be a thin client [08:39] LaserJock, TeePOG, any other advice before i tap into the promises that google holds? [08:39] at the Paris summit we used a laptop for the server [08:39] and just ran a ethernet cable to a thin client [08:39] was really easy and cool [08:40] erm kenthomson... it's kind of assumed that you google before you ask on IRC... so, no. have fun and ask here if there's anything else [08:40] kenthomson: make sure to read the Edubuntu documentation and perhaps get on the edubuntu-users mailing list [08:41] LaserJock, TeePOG so long! Its been enlightening. I have got a week's time to do all the research and hardware purchasing and i need a lab ready in 15 days, hope i can make it to the deadline. But you see, i am largely uninformed about LTSP, always used fat-clients. Lets hope everything goes OK. [08:41] indeed [08:41] good luk [08:41] good luck [08:42] Thank you!

[03:34] but I can't do it that way [03:36] Well, you can't use the original define as a *entries, because that's just a pointer to a GOptionEntry type. [03:36] So, no storage has been allocated to the bits you'll want to store. [03:37] right [03:37] that makes sense [03:37] So, you'll have to say static GO... entries[] = { blah } [03:37] i can't do that [03:37] Because you need a pointer to it? [03:37] can't i do like new array [03:38] well basically the definition of the variable is in theclass header [03:38] and I need to use that pointer [03:38] if i create a new instance it won't be availble to ther other members in the class [03:38] GOptionEntry *newptr [03:38] newptr = entry [03:38] [03:39] Is entry your global array? [03:40] yes [03:40] entries is [03:40] :p [03:40] Ah, so you're wanting to assign a new set of values to entry? [03:40] yes [03:40] :D:D:D [03:41] though the {3,3,3} type notation [03:41] basically reinitialising it [03:41] entry[0] = 3 [03:41] but [03:41] entry[1] = 3... etc. [03:41] I have a large struct to do === caravena [n=caravena@117-29-246-201.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu [03:41] so, do this: [03:41] for (i = 0; i < len; i++) [03:42] whoops, hold on [03:42] heh [03:42] ok [03:42] GO... newthing = { foo, foo, foo } [03:42] for (i = 0; i < len(newthing); i++) { entry[i] = newthing[i] ; } [03:43] cool [03:43] ok [03:43] You can only use the {....} notation on initialization [03:43] Once you're past that, you gotta access by subscript.
