| lns | Sup all | 12:18 |
|---|---|---|
| lns | I'm in a bit of a bind here... I have a bunch of schools that want to migrate to Linux/LTSP/Edubuntu | 12:29 |
| Burgwork | sounds good | 12:30 |
| Burgwork | what is the issue? | 12:30 |
| lns | I really want to use Ubuntu/Edubuntu, but there lacks a good user management tool for >20 users | 12:30 |
| Burgwork | you can use openldap | 12:30 |
| Burgwork | takes a bit to setup | 12:30 |
| lns | what kind of admin tools are there for that? | 12:31 |
| lns | The IT staff in the schools are all windows ppl | 12:31 |
| Burgwork | there are a bunch of tools | 12:31 |
| lns | they don't want commandline at all | 12:31 |
| Burgwork | I use lat, personally | 12:31 |
| === cafuego_ [n=cafuego@caffeine.cc.com.au] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| lns | lat..ok | 12:31 |
| lns | is it pretty useful for LTSP/Linux user environments? | 12:32 |
| lns | I know a lot are just generic LDAP admin tools | 12:32 |
| lns | it would be good to have one that is geared toward easy user/system admin | 12:32 |
| lns | I know very little about LDAP | 12:32 |
| Burgwork | it is a bit of a headache to setup | 12:32 |
| Burgwork | doesn't do as much hand holding as AD | 12:32 |
| lns | yea | 12:32 |
| lns | The schools are leaning toward Novell/Suse enterprise | 12:33 |
| lns | because of Zenworks | 12:33 |
| lns | lat looks nice, though | 12:34 |
| lns | pretty basic | 12:35 |
| Burgwork | it does the job | 12:35 |
| lns | I have the most expertise in Ubuntu/Edubuntu environments though, and PXE boot is something that really helps after everythign is set up, vs. having a thin client like Neoware that has a firmware-based OS on it, it's a bunch of useless stuff | 12:36 |
| lns | another thing is a keyboarding program.. tuxtype/ktouch are very limited... are there any other linux native typing tutor programs out there? | 12:37 |
| lns | I tried installing Typing Master but it craps out with a generic installation failure mssg | 12:37 |
| Burgwork | I have no idea | 12:37 |
| LaserJock | just put everybody in #ubuntu for a few hours | 12:37 |

| === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| crimsun | depending on the amount of RAM, the CPU is plenty powerful | 03:46 |
| LaserJock | Dante123: how many clients? | 03:46 |
| Dante123 | 4-5 likely | 03:49 |
| Dante123 | sorry..was in another window | 03:49 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | cram it with ram and it should cope | 03:49 |
| Dante123 | what would be sufficient ram.....1gb | 03:50 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | yeh | 03:50 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | depends how much openoffice use goes on ;) | 03:51 |
| bddebian | heh | 03:53 |
| Dante123 | what about a 2.4 ghz celeron with 1 gb ram? | 03:56 |
| Dante123 | Celeron D.... | 03:56 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | for 5 clients? overkill :) | 03:57 |
| Dante123 | so pentium iii is okay? | 03:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | yeh | 03:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | i run 10-20 clients (depending on load) off a 3gig p4 with 2 gig of ram | 03:58 |
| Dante123 | I'm wanting to setup a little network at school......for my class..... | 03:58 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | and its very rare i notice any server lag - its mostly network congestion | 03:58 |
| Dante123 | okay...thanks...... | 04:03 |

| frandavid100 | hello! | 02:10 |
| stelis | Hi | 02:11 |
| frandavid100 | can you guys give me some help with the student control panel? | 02:11 |
| frandavid100 | I'm trying to practice with it for a while, already installed the server part | 02:11 |
| frandavid100 | but what do I have to do with the client computer? | 02:11 |
| frandavid100 | do I have to install something in it, run a command...? | 02:12 |
| stelis | It just controls the system itself, and attached thin clients. | 02:13 |
| stelis | (Edubuntu is a thin client system, by default). | 02:14 |
| frandavid100 | didn't know that | 02:14 |
| stelis | Docs are a work in progress :) | 02:14 |
| frandavid100 | so, if I install thin-client-manager in my ubuntu install | 02:14 |
| frandavid100 | it will pick up any computers connected to the same network, with edubuntu installed? | 02:15 |
| frandavid100 | and take them as clients? | 02:15 |
| stelis | I haven't used TCM, but I don't think so. | 02:15 |
| stelis | Thin clients boot from the server, and are essentially just terminals. | 02:16 |
| stelis | Basically you install Edubuntu classroom server on the server PC | 02:16 |
| frandavid100 | aha | 02:16 |
| stelis | Then set the other machines to "network boot" | 02:17 |
| stelis | PXE in Intel-speak | 02:17 |
| frandavid100 | hmmm | 02:17 |
| stelis | Most PCs now support PXE out of the box | 02:17 |
| frandavid100 | from the bios, you mean? | 02:17 |
| stelis | Yes | 02:17 |
| frandavid100 | I would have to try that | 02:17 |
| stelis | Change the boot option from hard drive to LAN | 02:17 |
| stelis | The OS on the hard drive remains unchanged | 02:18 |
| frandavid100 | so you don't really need anything installed in the clients, cool | 02:18 |
| stelis | It's simply ignored | 02:18 |
| stelis | Very, IMO :) | 02:18 |
| frandavid100 | sorry to ask dumb questions BTW, I'm just to all the thin client thing and it kinda beats me | 02:18 |
| frandavid100 | I'm new I mant | 02:19 |
| stelis | It went out of fashion for a long while | 02:19 |
| frandavid100 | gonna check that old computers bios, doubt it will have PXE tho | 02:19 |
| stelis | It may be listed as "Network" or "LAN" in the boot options | 02:20 |
| stelis | Anything less than 6 years old has a good chance. | 02:20 |
| frandavid100 | boot sequence, right? | 02:22 |
| stelis | Yes. | 02:22 |
| frandavid100 | no, that thing has only drive letters | 02:22 |
| frandavid100 | I'll have to try it out with a newer PC | 02:22 |
| frandavid100 | so, is there a webpage for the project or something? | 02:23 |
| frandavid100 | I'd like to see it in action, to see the screen viewer and stuff | 02:24 |
| stelis | http://www.edubuntu.com/, but that's a little dated. | 02:24 |
| stelis | TCM is fairly new, and hasn't been in a release yet. | 02:25 |
| frandavid100 | will be in feisty by default right? | 02:26 |
| stelis | I think so, although it wasn't in Herd 4. | 02:28 |
| stelis | I haven't had the time to check Herd 5. | 02:28 |
| frandavid100 | it looks really good | 02:29 |
| frandavid100 | oh, it says in Rosetta that it's not set up for translation | 02:30 |
| frandavid100 | and here I wanted to help translate it to Spanish | 02:30 |
| stelis | Oh, probably not then, but I'm not a developer. | 02:30 |
| stelis | FWIW, IRC mostly works runs on US time - there are more people around later. | 02:31 |
| frandavid100 | yeah you solved most of my doubts anyway | 02:32 |
| frandavid100 | thanks man, gotta go do some work ^^ thanks for your time! | 02:33 |

| leprasmurf | can anyone point me in the right direction? | 10:54 |
| LaserJock | generally you need to get libdvdcss2 | 10:55 |
| leprasmurf | I was reading a tutorial that said if you're using ubuntu 6.10 - Edgy Eft, then you need libdvdread3 | 10:55 |
| leprasmurf | but if libdvdcss would work, all the better | 10:56 |
| stgraber | leprasmurf: try : sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 11:11 |
| stgraber | once libdvdread3 installed, it'll download the required package to be able to read the DVD | 11:12 |
| stgraber | then you should be able to read your dvd using any of the video players available | 11:12 |
