I want to make BOX-B boot via LAN(Ethernet)(Cross-connection) from my main BOX. Could you tell me the packages that i would need to setup LTSP?06:57

Kamping_Kaiserrockprincess, watching the cricket scoreboard, feeling like stopping and just sleeping ( ;) ), and playing wesnoth04:30
rockprincessKamping_Kaiser: hahaa so do i, except for watching cricket and playing wesnoth :)04:31
Kamping_Kaiserlol04:31
Kamping_Kaiserrockprincess, its 00:01 here, i dont think you have that excuse ;)04:31
Kamping_Kaisermind you, i need to suck less if i want to get anyware with wesnoth04:33

juliuxhappy easter04:43
juliuxhas somebody tried to make the chroot system of the ltsp a littlebit smaller?04:43
juliuxan other question can this work ltspserver->wlan->wlantoethernet bridge->client?04:45
Kamping_Kaiserjuliux, if your wlan is fast enough, and your dhcp server/s allow the right options04:45
juliuxKamping_Kaiser, i have a 54mbit wlan04:47
Kamping_Kaisershould be easily fast enough for most stuff, as long as it runs at full speed04:48
juliuxcool04:48
juliuxKamping_Kaiser, any ideas how i can make the ltsp chroot smaller? i only need a minimal system not all the X11 stuff04:50
Kamping_Kaiserjuliux, chroot shouldnt contain any x stuff at all04:51
Kamping_Kaiseroh, it contains a lot04:52
juliuxKamping_Kaiser, the chroot is around 340MB04:52
Kamping_Kaiserjuliux, i was working on stripping down clients, but the aim wasnt to have them work after i striped them down. however, if you debfoster out everything short of ubuntu-minimal and ldm, you should be well on the way04:53
juliuxKamping_Kaiser, thxs04:53
juliuxKamping_Kaiser, i dont need ldm i only need a terminal;)04:54
juliuxKamping_Kaiser, my idea is to create a small thinclient as musicbox, to deliver the music to my hifi system04:55
Kamping_Kaiserah, in that case strip it right down :)04:55
Kamping_Kaiseri was trying to get a minimal client booting as a gateway, didnt get it finished though.04:56
juliuxmy first idea was to boot the thinclient via a usb stick but the bios can t boot from usb hdd04:58

HedgeMageterrestre: did you do the "verify CD" option on boot to make sure it is not a damaged CD?07:47
terrestregood question, the answer its no, I just change the cd every time07:47
HedgeMageterrestre: when you boot up, make sure to do "verify cd" to make sure the CD is okay... if the CD passes that test, but still stops mid-install, come back and tell us exactly what step it was on when it froze, what hardware you have, and what error message(s) you got07:48

terrestreI have a installation stop exactly in 50% of "Building LTSP chroot" and a cd perfect integrity08:45
terrestreany idea08:45
sbalneavIt's probably not "stopped"08:46
sbalneavIt doesn't update the counter for a while.  Are you updating from CD or the network?08:46
terrestreinstallatino crash actually08:46
terrestreform a dapper cd08:46

terrestreand no response from ctrl+alt F1....F808:51
sbalneavHmm, so looks like something in the X detection might be messing things up.08:52
terrestreall the cd give me the same black screen08:53
terrestrethats a crash or a stop?08:53
terrestreand no response of the pc08:53
sbalneavWhat kind of video card is in the machine?08:53
terrestrebut de caps lock botton can be on off the light08:53
terrestreintel, i910 its a toshiba laptop08:53
terrestreso theres no video card :)08:54
terrestresorry for my english08:54
sbalneavI think in the edgy version of edubuntu, they disabled the faulty X detection on the build of the chroot.  So you might have better luck with Edgy.  Apart from that, you might try starting the install in vesa mode.08:55
terrestretheres still no live cd of edubuntu?08:56
terrestredo you know were im have to change to vesa? or what command use?08:56
sbalneavCan you try an edgy cd? Or is dapper all you have?08:57
terrestreyeah just dapper, I request them and they arrive like a week08:58
sbalneavHm.08:59
terrestrethats why I want to install, first time that I use edubuntu08:59
sbalneavI'd have to look it up, hold on...08:59
terrestrethanks08:59
sbalneavWhen toy boot up, is there a "safe" graphics mode option on the menu?09:00

sbalneavok, try installing a workstation09:02
terrestreo right09:03
sbalneavSeeing as how it's the ltsp chroot that's failing.09:03
sbalneavIf you need it, you can always install it later09:03
sbalneavAre you going to be booting thin clients off your laptop?09:03
terrestresorry i dont understand your question09:04
sbalneavEdubuntu can boot diskless clients from it, like in a classroom.  Are you planning on doing that from your laptop?09:05
terrestreooh no right now09:05
terrestreits for my personal use this laptop09:06
sbalneavok, then a workstation installation should be fine.09:06
terrestresbalneav, so, with one pc i can "give" edubuntu to other pc in a network?09:07
terrestreor Im understand wrong?09:07
sbalneavYep.  You can boot multiple thin clients off of one edubuntu machine.09:08
sbalneavhttp://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/09:08
terrestrethat can be do it whit all ubuntu?09:08
terrestrethanks09:08
