pips1nice, double clicking on an mp3 brings up an dialog to install codecs01:07
pips1hmm, when I actually try to go ahead and install codecs as a normal user without sysadmin rights, it will just abort with an error msg saying that the needed codecs are missing, instead of saying that I don't have permission to install them...01:09

zscallyits all good02:56
zscallyi designing a ubuntu distro that will take on the nature of ltsp02:57
zscallybut insted of having the os strem accross the network having the os files localy02:57
Burgundaviazscally: umm?02:57
zscallyand have just documents stream accross the network02:57
Burgundaviaright, that is just nfs mounted home directories02:58
zscallykinda like a VPN02:58
zscallyya02:58
zscallyso basicly you could be anyware as long as you have internet access you could get your files02:59
zscallybroadband is getting alot faster02:59
zscallythis would be mostly marketed to businesses03:00
zscallyso instead of giving them a 1200$$ laptop they could give them a usb stick03:00
zscallyand use there home computer03:00
Burgundaviahmm03:00
BurgundaviaI can see businesses be worried about data security03:01
zscallybasicly you would have a login prompt when the os boots03:01
zscallyand you would just sign in03:01
zscallyand the script would tell witch drive to mount03:01
zscallywell thats why you would have a passworded usb sitck03:01
zscallyonly IT / people you give the password to03:02
zscallyif you needed to download an update you would just have the IT unlock it for a bit03:02
zscallydownload the update and then lock it back up03:02
zscallyits more security then a laptop03:02
zscallyi think anyways03:02
Burgundaviaso you have a live usb stick, with the documents stored somewhere out on the web?03:02
zscallyright03:03
zscallyencrypted connection03:03
zscallyand then you would a jailed user when connecting to the server03:04
zscallyno way of copying data unless your ment too03:04
zscallyplus i could see it as your profile would be loaded aswell like where you have deaktop icons clolor sceams and shit03:05
zscallyim thinking like when you login from the front screen03:06
zscallytheres where the system would know how you are03:06
zscallyand as far as the file over the net03:07
zscallymost files you open in a business envierment are no larger then 10mb03:09
zscallydoc's and images mostly03:09

NinjaI am having trouble installing edubuntu. i downloaded it and then change the boot sequnce but it said the disk was not bootable. I then tried the one that you can try out Edubuntu then install it but still having no luck...any help ??07:35
HedgeMageNinja: did you do manual or automagic partitioning?07:59
NinjaI haven't partioned the drive it already has windows on it.. is that what i need to do ?08:00
HedgeMageperhaps... try booting to a livecd and running the command "fdisk /dev/hda" where "hda" is your hard disk08:01
HedgeMagethen press "p" to print the info to the screen and tell me what you see08:02
NinjaSorry let me just clarify . when you say running the command do you mean typing "fdisk /dev" into the "run" application ?08:04
HedgeMageopen a terminal, and su to root (sudo su)08:05
HedgeMagethen do "fdisk /dev/hda" (or sda or whatever your hard disk is)08:05
NinjaHedgeMage i am so sorry but i don't undertsand maybe i need to go somewhere else to learn but i don't know what a terminal window is in the windows context. It sounds like you are using Unix words, but a si say i am still using windows. Is there any way i can complete these tasks in windows ???08:16
HedgeMageahh okay08:16
HedgeMageas far as I know, windows isn't smart enough for this :/08:16
HedgeMageyou'd have to do it from linux08:17
BurgundaviaHedgeMage: ! long time no see08:17
HedgeMagehi Burgundavia :)08:17
HedgeMageBurgundavia: yeah, things are finally starting to calm down here.08:17

HedgeMageBurgundavia: Hubby was finally set non-deployable... you wouldn't think it should be something we had to fight for, considering that he can't always walk.08:17
Burgundaviathat is a good thing08:18
HedgeMageyep08:18
Burgundaviahow is your child?08:18
Burgundavia(do you have more than one?) it has been a while08:18
HedgeMageHe's good -- just started preschool08:18
HedgeMagejust the one... we want to adopt another after hubby is out of the military08:18
Burgundaviawell, Feisty tomorrow!08:19
HedgeMage:)08:19
NinjaSo i have to install linux before i can use edbuntu ??08:20
Burgundaviayes08:21
HedgeMageNinja: Edubuntu /is/ a type of Linux.08:22
NinjaYeah i thought that .. but i had this computer donated to my preschool and it alreday ahd Edbuntu on it... as majority of staff were only familiar with Windows some braniac installed windows. I am now trying to go back beasue i ahve heard such good things about Edubuntu..especailly for schools08:24
NinjaI see that there are instructions on the wiki.edubuntu website on how to install Ubuntu on top of windows i thought edubuntu would be the same08:25
HedgeMageNinja: does the machine have a good internet connection?08:26
NinjaNo i don't think it does.. it is only a Pentium three but i suppose dial up...The other thing is it is only running windows 98se.08:27
HedgeMagehm, nevermind, I was just told that the suggestion I was about to make is out of date :)08:27
=== HedgeMage nods
HedgeMageare you trying to do a dual-boot, or to replace windows with edubuntu?08:28
NinjaReplace08:29
HedgeMageahh, that's way easier than dual-booting :D08:29
HedgeMagedo you have another computer you can talk online on during the install in case you need help?08:29
NinjaYeah i have my home computer.. but at the moment i am at work.08:30
HedgeMageIIRC you said you already tried to install and are now having problems booting... was there an error during the install or just when you tried to reboot afterwards?08:31
NinjaWell i burnt the disk as an image through toaster but when i changed the boot sequnce to read the cdrom.. it just said boot disk faild or somethingt along those lines08:32
NinjaThen i tried downloading the one where you can download and try before installing but none of the files are recognised08:33
HedgeMagehmmm08:33
HedgeMagesounds like they may be bad burns08:33
NinjaIs it a problem that i burnt them from a Mac08:34
HedgeMageit shouldn't be08:34
HedgeMageI'm assuming it's not a problem with the computer's CDROM since the windoze install worked.08:35
NinjaYeah the CdRom is working fine... but when i go to explore the disk i can't find the application for installing or set up .. the PC can not read most of the files08:36
HedgeMageyou are supposed to boot the CD, not run it from windows08:37
=== LaserJock is now known as Laser_away
NinjaNo i did boot it but there also a version that you can download and then try before you commit i think it's called a live CD. well when i explore that one it does not recognize08:40
HedgeMageThe live CD is something you boot, too08:41
HedgeMageit just doesn't change anything on your hard drive unless you run the install script on it08:41
NinjaOhh well i did try to boot both of those ... i ahve downloaded version 6.06 and 6.10. So are you saying that it isn't a situation where i need to have linux beacsue i should be able to boot from a computer with windows or do i need a copy of linux ?08:44
HedgeMageyou should only need the CDs08:45
HedgeMageyou see the cdrom light up showing that it is getting booted (or attempted to boot)08:46
HedgeMagewow, that was a horribly constructed sentence... I'm getting sleepier than I thought08:46
Ninjalol where are you08:46
HedgeMageThe US, west coast08:47
NinjaOhh what time is it there08:47
HedgeMagequarter to midnight.08:47
NinjaAnd you sya your child is ion preschool taht is so cool ..my fav age.. i am at University studying to be a tecaher.. and i work in a preschool. three to five is my fav age. are you SF08:49

HedgeMageCool.08:50
NinjaAnyway back to business. the cdrom is reading i can hear it turning and the light does come one. I guess i will try and download the program again and see if that helps.  Thanks for your time08:51
HedgeMageNinja: I have to go to sleep, but I'll be back in about nine hours when my son is at school.  In the mean time, since you are not doing LTSP, the install is very similar to a vanilla ubuntu install so the folks in #ubuntu may be able to help until someone wakes up here08:51
Ninjawhats LTSP08:52
HedgeMageLinux Terminal Server Project -- it is when you run all of your programs on a server and just use the user's computer to connect to the server and display stuff to the user, handle the keyboard and mouse, etc08:52

ograyou fixed the pulse issue before logging in ?11:50
pips1nope11:50
ograheh11:50
ograyou need to11:50

SiCkdont think epiphany is the way to go ogra... :(11:50
ograg-s-d seems to access the system sound ...11:51
ograSiCk, well, it has all you mentioned above ...11:51
SiCkbut i cant figure it out. :( haha11:51
pips1so that error message is related to that bug, you think?11:51
SiCka wee bit of customising maybe.. hm11:51
ogralikely, fix the pulse issue and reboot ... if its still there its unrelated11:52
pips1ok11:52
ograSiCk, epiphany does everything via gconf settings11:52
SiCkim not familiar with gconf?11:53
ograinstall gconf-editor and xterm in the chroot ... change your NFS root from ro to rw in /etc/exports and make your client Xsession start xterm .... boot the client and run gconf-editor from the xterm ....11:54
ogramake your settings ... change /etc/exports back ... done11:55
ograoh, and indeed change the xsession back :)11:55
pips1ogra: to fix the prob, do I just need to run 'unset-pulseadio' ? or is that just a temporary fix? do I need to replace /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80_ltsp-sound as descriped in your bug report?11:56
ogra/usr/bin/asoundconf unset-pulseaudio will sufgfice for the moment ...11:56
ogra*suffice11:56
=== pips1 ran unset-pulseaudio and indeed gnome now works for that user
=== pips1 tries a reboot
ograif you want to jump between server and thin client you should have the fix from the bug though11:57
pips1jump between server and tc?11:57
ograwith this user, yes11:57
pips1what do you mean?11:57
ogralogging in on the client will set it to pulse again11:58
pips1run a session for a user on both server and tc..?11:58
pips1ahh11:58
pips1got you11:58
ograif you then want to log in on the server later with this user you will have the same prob11:58

ograunless you change the script11:58
ograok :)11:58
SiCkogra, when i go to install those, i get package dependency problems, apparently libgnome2-0 is not configured, and a few others... is there a way to force configuration? i thought apt-get did that for you?12:07
SiCki think those were from when i installed epiphany-browser12:07

SiCki cant install anything on the chroot :(01:26

SiCkthats it! thankyou again!01:30
SiCksorry to bother again, see when you say ' change your NFS root from ro to rw in /etc/exports ' how's this done? just chmodding /etc/exports to read/write?01:33

sbalneavI actually kept track, beleive it or not. :)04:19
sbalneavWhen I added it up this morning, it was a bit lower than I thought.  Still, good tho!04:20
sbalneavTalked to alot of people about the second CD, they were REAL happy about the lang support.04:20
sbalneavThat's a huge win for them down there.04:20
=== bronze applauds
=== SiCk concurs
ograwell, we're just discussing dropping the first CD ... but i already told you that04:21
sbalneavI think having a general "Ubuntu thin client server" cd is an awesome idea, and then focusing on the Edubuntu as an addon is an awesome idea.04:22
sbalneavIt puts a CLEAR demarcation between the TECH side (LTSP, TCM, etc etc etc) and the EDU side (games, content, etc)04:23
ograconvince mdz ;)04:23
ograhe doesnt like the idea04:23
SiCki totally agree to be honest04:23
SiCkim sure there are alot of people ( like me ) that wont really ever use the educational side of it04:24
ogra(at loeast the one of having a dedicated thin client CD)04:24
sbalneavI suspect it would be way easier to attract Educators to help out if they can JUST focus on the edu side of things, and not feel intimidated by the tech side.04:24
ograyeah04:24
sbalneavSure, are you discussing it in a channel somewhere now?04:24
sbalneavI'll throw my 2 cents in.04:24
ograi would like to make the move to addon really ... independently from thet thin client CD ...04:24
ogra*that04:24
sbalneavI'm not above bribing people either.04:25
ograno, we discussed it in the meeting today04:25
sbalneavWant me to send him an email?04:25
ograand i personally discussed it with mdz yesterday04:25
ogranah04:25
ograwe'll have a BOF about it04:25
SiCkhaha, you'll just annoy him :P04:25
ograi'll register a spec04:25
sbalneavok, yeah schedule it.04:25
sbalneavI think it's an awesome idea.04:25
ograyup, me too04:26
sbalneavAre we planning on getting Moodle into edubuntu?  And supplying some example content?04:26
ogra1. yes, 2. no not planned yet04:26
sbalneavSee, that'd be an excellent place to get some Edu people involved.  I want to see more teachers in on this.  And the ones we do have, like Trask and cliebow, get more heaviliy involved in the edu.04:27

SiCkmight go back to opera... had a wee bit more luck with it... haha05:10
ograso your changes worked but you didnt like them ?05:14
ograor whats the prob ?05:14
SiCkchanges didnt work, it hates me :( , whereas the only problem with opera i'm having is a license dialogue box! .. well, that and the addressbar keeps showing.. but i got rid of that somehow once before... just not completely sure how yet!05:15
SiCki've just been trying a few options that are open to me05:16
ograthbe license diqalog will go away once you have okeyed it with a writeable homedir ...05:16
ograsame thing as the gconf thing ...05:16
SiCki think i maybe did the homedir thing wrong last time then ?05:17
SiCki dont think i'm completely understanding what you're telling me about the homedir... my fault... :/05:17
ogradunno ... comment out the line, reboot the client, make your changes ... set the line back and reboot05:17
SiCksee when i do that, i get there is no writable filesystem and cannot open gconf-editor at all...05:18
ogracopy_dirs makes the thin client move the homedir into memory ... all changes you make are lost after a reboot05:18
SiCkahh05:18
ograremoving the copy_dirs line with a readwruite exported nfs mount will make it possible to write changes to it05:19
SiCkthat's when you change the /etc/exports on the server to rw instead of ro yes?05:19
SiCkso i change that, comment out the line and i should be able to boot gconf-editor?05:19
SiCkmake changes then drop all that back the way it was05:19

jitjShould be around 2007:05
LaserJockI wouldn't think that would be a problem as long as you can keep the class from being too noisy :-)07:06
jitjI'm not sure that most have used IRC and I'd like them to know about the community that surrounds open source software.07:07
jitjOf course, I'm highlighting mailing lists, wiki's, forums, etc...07:07
LaserJockyeah sure07:07
LaserJockwhat time?07:07
jitjThe session is 8:30-10A EST...I would guess we'll be doing the IRC thing around 8:45-9A.07:08
LaserJockyeah, I'd think there would be people around07:08

pips1_so, for the "classroom server solution", you will need to get the "alternate" cd, plus, (optionally) the server-addon cd, right?09:59
