ograwoah12:38
ograthats not bad12:38
willvdlsweet12:38
ograthe edubuntu kickoff meeting we had in london were 15 ppl or so12:38
RichEdi'll update the attendee list when I have finished the first draft of the schedule ...12:38
RichEdsome nice attendees across quite a spread of interest and background12:38
willvdlgood news indeed12:39
cbx33hey guys12:39
cbx33I'm being thick here12:39
cbx33I have a usb hdd12:39
cbx33 /dev/sda12:39
cbx33I just created a partition on it with gnome patirion manager12:39
cbx33so i have /dev/sda112:39
cbx33i unplug and plug in and it automounts it12:40
cbx33but I can't write to it12:40
cbx33even though it's mounted as rw12:40
cbx33how can i mount this partition so a "normal" user can write to it12:40
cliebowand it has a dos filesystem?12:40
Kamping_KaiserRichEd, good numbers.12:42
cbx33no12:43
cbx33ext312:43
cbx33i just created i12:43
RichEdKamping_Kaiser: and a nice spread ... I am glad now that I did not promote it harder than we did ... 40-45 is manageable for this event, and then we can aim for a kick-ass event in 6 months time.12:43
cbx33cool12:43
=== ajmitch would have loved to get to UES
=== cbx33 too
Kamping_Kaiserajmitch, mm. <aol />12:44
RichEdajmitch & cbx33 : now that I have been through the process, we'll sort out arrangements a lot earlier with more warning for the next event.12:44
Kamping_KaiserRichEd, heh. well done on the promotions front too then ;)12:44
ajmitchI suspect that UDS will be more worthwhile for me at this point12:44
ajmitchsince I'm pretty much just focused on development12:45
cbx33cliebow: what can i do about it12:45
ajmitchcbx33: it's using the normal permissions12:46
ajmitchso making it writable for anyone to create directories in would be a good help12:47
cbx33who would i do that?12:47
cbx33how?12:47
ajmitchchmod ?12:48
cbx33hmm12:48
cbx33ok12:48
cbx33I'll try12:48
cbx33the dir that I mounted to was created by a standard user12:48
cbx33what do i chmod?12:48
cliebowi am not so bright..but  if i mount with sudo only  root can write12:49
ajmitchbut the root inode on the device probably isn't writable12:49

cbx33but yes ther erms are wrong12:51
cbx33I'll chmod12:51
ajmitchright12:51
ajmitchthen it should magically work12:51
cbx33thanks12:51
cbx33YAY12:52
cliebowyAY12:52
cbx33if i wanted to mauanlly mount and get the same effect12:52
cbx33how would I do it?12:52

=== jinty [n=jinty@84.78.183.65] has joined #edubuntu
joebakerogra:  nice presentation.  I have some experience using an http proxy filter solution using dansguardian and squid and clamav.  Ubuntu packages exist which can provide this solution.  A dns method makes auto configuration of the client doable using java script on a web server at http://wpad.localdomain/wpad.dat08:06
ograwe ship smoothwall on the addon CD atm08:07
ajmitchogra: yeah, I didn't get to even ask any questions :)08:07
ograi'll look into adding dansguariand or squidguard ... the prob with these is that they need updated balcklists every now and then08:08
ograand dansguardian isnt freely distributable iirc08:08
joebakerogra.  There is the license issue with Dan's guardian -- yes, although it is gpl to schools --- but that doesn't really work does it.  -- Importantly though Dan's guardian does not _require_ updated blacklists to be effective.08:09
ograwell, its not GPL to distributors ...08:10
ograthats the main prob for me :)08:10
ograwe have willowng, but development of that stalled somehow08:11
joebakerogra:  Maybe you are familiar with dan's guardian's approach of monitoring the content of the pages for matching regular expressions which have values associated with them.  A calculation is done, compared to acceptable value.08:11
ograit was the most promising approach ...08:11
ograjoebaker, well, willowng simply uses a spam filter mechanism to match content ...08:11
ograa bayesian one ... so it learns :)08:12
joebakerMaybe dansguardian can become truely gpl in the future.  I'll look into willowng.   I've been studying Python, maybe I can help if it's written in Python.08:12
ograit is08:13
cliebow_joebaker:you working with python-gtk08:15
joebakerhttp://dansguardian.org/?page=copyright2     Since Edubuntu caters to mostly a non-commercial audience, there could be some benefit to using DansGuardian.  Where I work, we own a commercial license to DansGuardian.08:15
joebakercliebow_ :  I hope to.  I'm reading "Python How to Program by Deitel"  it's a 1300 page book.  I'm on about page 300.08:16

=== maccam94 [n=cam@pool-72-72-84-37.bstnma.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu
joebakerogra:  I think that Ubuntu can buy a distributable license from DansGuardian that isn't too expensive... less than $5,000 if I recall.  I used to build firewalls and support them so I considered buying it.  Of course this might be problematic for derivative distributions.  I should contact "Dan" and see if he would enjoy increased exposure by releasing the product fully under GPL.08:21
Burgworkjoebaker: we have a content filter08:23
Burgworkplus, that license is not really legal08:24

ograMonika|K, apart from the fact that you shouldnt edit xorg.conf manually :)08:35
ogradpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is the magic comand ;)08:35
Burgworkbut there is no X on the box08:35
Monika|Kone shouldn't? I have been advised to do it a lot and have changed mine08:35

LaserJockawwww, but bling is fun ;-)08:45
LaserJockwe aren't doing beryl-on-ltsp ?08:45
ograask Amaranth :P08:47
ograi'm waiting for the beryl plugin ;)08:47
LaserJockok, well something I've been thinking about08:48
ograit cant work ...08:48
LaserJockis better user managment08:48
ograah08:48
ograok08:48
LaserJockI'm not great with all this fancy LDAP/AD stuff08:48
ograwell, that should go along with a proper edubuntu-auth-server implementation08:48
ograwhat we need is a good ldap admin gui08:48
LaserJockbut I keep seeing around the edu community "we need better user management, especially in bulk"08:49
LaserJockso will that be all that's needed?08:49
ograthe one i picked in the spec was pretty disappointing and far from being ready08:49
LaserJockwell, not "all" as in trivial08:49
ograwell, find a good ldap admin thats as easy as users-admin08:49
Burgworkogra: which one did you pick??08:49
ograBurgwork, edsadmin08:49
LaserJockbut is saying "if you want to do decent amounts users, you'll be using ldap" a safe assumption08:50
Burgworkahh08:50
Burgworklat is a better bet08:50
ograBurgwork, it had the most userfriendly gui but lots of probs underneath08:50
LaserJockthis is were my ignorance of "real life" deployments fails08:50
ogralat is the worst crap i've seen so far08:50
Burgworkheh08:50
Burgworkit has the most features08:50
ograi wouldnt put a teacher in front of it08:50
BurgworkI have only run into one crasher08:50
ograyes, exactly its totally non-gnome08:51
LaserJockI just imagined something like the the gnome user tool, but with bulk features08:51
ograit has way to many features08:51
LaserJocklike import/export from file08:51
ograyeh as simple as it can get08:51
ogra*yeah even08:51
ograthe best would be to have an ldap backend for users-admin08:52
ograthat just hooks in to ldap and to the existing gui08:52
LaserJockok, well I wondered if I could tie the dynamic menu stuff into a bulk user management tool, but it sounds like that's not really a good idea08:52
ograwell, why not ....08:53
ograif you dont bloat the ui08:53
ograi.e. i dont want users to get a server selection dialog ...08:53
LaserJockwell, I just thought it'd require messing around with the existing tools08:53
ograor see a directory structure08:54
ograif there is a new tool written thats as good or better than the existing tools thats fine ...08:54
LaserJockI was hoping for a GSoC project for that08:54
ograthe existing ldap admin tools are simply what they say they are ...08:55
ograldap admin tools ...08:55
ograwhat we want is a user management tool ... :)08:55
LaserJockI want a user managment tool that works with ldap as well08:55
Burgworkan ldap backend for users-admin would rock08:55
ograright08:55
LaserJockis it worth a spec?08:55
Burgworkit really shoujld be done upstream08:56
ograsure08:56
Burgworkif we provide patches, I imagine they will take them08:56
Burgworkit has been talked about before08:56
ograBurgwork, it can be done in ubuntu and flow up the stream ;)08:56
cliebow_ldap is so configurable with respect to users..how to deal with all the nuances people have added?08:56
Burgworkyou assume defaults08:56
ogracliebow_, i'm lookinf for something in the default install ...08:56
Burgworkif people have screwed up defaults, that is their issue, not ours08:57
ograif you have special cases such a tool should point you to other tools that are better suited ...08:57
ograi.e. if t detects a non standard setup08:57
=== ogra changes locations ... it get dark on the balcony

joebakerThere are many LDAP gui tools.   GQ,  Directory Administrator, etc...   I'll try to dig up my notes... There was one Mandriva Corporate server that is GPL that looked promising....08:58
joebakerhttp://luma.sourceforge.net/about.html09:01
Burgworkwe don't need an ldap gui tool09:02
Burgworkwe need a user control tool that happens to control ldap users09:02
joebakerBut I still have to say it just doesn't look simple enough.   This user admin stuff needs to be simple enough for an end user to do.09:02
=== ogra_ [n=ogra@p548AD617.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu
joebakerBurgwork:  right.09:02
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
joebakerBurgwork:  But then there's a config file in the ldap.secret which would need to contain the LDAP admin/root password (or) the tool would ask for that password to pass during updates.09:04
Burgworkit would make sense that the tool would need to ask for that information09:05
cliebow_pam_ldap.secret would be readable wouldnt it?09:07
joebakerBurgwork:  Actually most ldap client machines rarely are given admin power to the LDAP server.  Most entities are given permission to update "self" in some fashion.  So it's like the root password on a server (which is a client of an LDAP server) may not be the admin password of the LDAP service.09:08
Burgworkwe are arguing past each other09:09
joebakercliebow_  No, pam_ldap.secret can have restrictive permissions as I recall.  So it's security is addressed via standard Unix style permissions, yet some are still leary of storing a password unencrypted in a file.09:10
cliebow_cant blam em 8~)09:10
Burgworkwe are talking about changing the users-admin tool to admin ldap users09:10
cliebow_joebaker: yeah of course..i had it in my head to build the server..09:11
cliebow_on same machine09:12
joebakerI just find it very convenient that I can have an older machine acting as the LDAP server, and when I bring up a new LTSP server, it becomes a client of that LDAP server.  So all accounts, an NFS home directory and the like are ready and waiting for users to run with.  I recognize that a large percentage of your schools might just start with one Edubuntu system and won't have seperate NFS & LDAP services.  But for the business I wor09:14
cliebow_joebaker: yes..09:15
