cliebow_tsurc:this is usng thin-client-manager?03:51
tsurcyes, but weirdly and I don't know what I did...... but it works now03:52
cliebow_must live right 8~)03:53
cliebow_soccer playoffs on now?03:53
tsurcget a small thumbnail from thin-client-manager.... note ip address of client. close thin-client manager. Fire up vncviewer ip:6 and your away.03:54
tsurcall I need to do now I thing is sort out sound with websites using flash. Set the clients NOT to detect the on board flash, and workout how to turn all the clients of with a cron job.03:55
tsurc*think03:56
tsurccliebow_: I haven't tried that script out yet you sent me. I have had a little read through and it look ok so far.03:57
cliebow_ i cant remember..ohhh ldap..03:58
tsurccliebow_: prefer rugby union (bit like american football minus the body armour, helmets and stuff) ;)03:58

sbalneavMorning all03:59
tsurcMy sister used to play for Lancaster University Womens squad.04:00
tsurcMorning (Afternoon ?)04:00
cliebow_my old Teach gave a list of user@ws..id click on it..hit run and it would open up04:00
bddebianHeya04:00
cliebow_sort of like mrs doubtfire..8~)04:00
tsurcWell I know we have a love hate relationship, but she's not quite that bad. For a rugby player she's surprisingly feminine04:02
cliebow_cool..04:03
tsurcanyway, I havn't seen her for a bit, I'm more bothered about getting a cron job for shuting down the clients.04:03
cliebow_like an ssh -e to the client?04:04
tsurcI've got waking them up ok. using wakeonlan on the server04:04
cliebow_cool04:04
tsurcbut shutting them all down is a puzzler04:05
tsurcIdea is at 8pm server shuts down all the clients....8am Server starts all the clients. thus 12h of power saved every day... *week*month*year = allot of power saved04:06
sbalneavtsurc: Remembering that even if you shut them down, they're still using power04:09
tsurcwakeonlan was the easy part. (except its in universe) wakeonlan MACoClient MACoClient MACoClient etc =  job done04:09
sbalneavBetter solution would be to simply put a block-heater timer on the pwer for the lab table, and actually kill power to the table.04:09
tsurcyeh but no where near the level they would if they were on fully04:09
sbalneavAs well, you can actually buy power-strips that are tcp/ip aware.04:10
ograwith running sshd ? *g*04:10
sbalneavThe one I used to have had a telnet interface04:11
tsurcand it scores high for internal politics, that we don't have to change anything, just implement code04:11
ogracool04:11
tsurcthats just bells and whistles ATM, my real problem lies with the onboard flash on these t5725's. When a user logsin they get them proudly displayed on their desktop.04:14
=== bluekuja [n=andy@ubuntu/member/bluekuja] has joined #edubuntu

=== willvdl [n=Will@vc-196-207-41-251.3g.vodacom.co.za] has joined #edubuntu
tsurchey, really jut stuff that is plugged in "after" the user has logged in04:20
tsurcanother thing I just noticed, is that the testuser I created can navigate into the Administrators home directory.04:22
tsurcchanging the permissions on the folder solves this...... but should this happen out the box?04:23
ograyup, we use the default umask value ubuntu uses ... you can change that in /etc/profile04:24
ograman umask gves you info04:25
ogra*gives04:25
=== a5benwillis [n=benwilli@72.159.132.4] has joined #edubuntu
tsurcright... any particular reason why?04:26
ograjust to stay conform with ubuntu defaults and ubuntu documentation04:27
tsurcjust seems a bit odd on an edubuntu server install thats all04:27
ografor the flashdisks you could try to edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/init.d/ltsp-client04:27
ografind a line "/usr/sbin/delayed_mounter"04:27
ogracomment it04:27
ograand reboot a client04:27
ograif that works i'll make it a config option "EXCLUDE_STATIC_LOCALDEV" or so ...04:28
ogra(for gutsy)04:28
tsurcchanged... rebooting now04:29
tsurc;) works a treat04:32
ogragreat04:33
ograthanks for testing ... i add a patch to my local branch04:33
tsurcalthough I have the edubuntu-server-addon cd in the server right now, and the user can see it too.04:33
ograyes, all users will see server sided devices04:33
ograthey are not handled by ltsp but by the default desktop04:34
ogradevices handled by ltspfs are only seen and accessible by the user who owns them ...04:35
tsurcyes.... but when "I" try to eject it it fails because apparently only testuser can do that.04:35
ograsounds like a gnome bug04:35
ogranautilus rather04:35
tsurcon the testusers desktop there is no left_click eject option04:36
ograindeed04:37
ograhmm04:37
ograall you can do is eject it from the terminal ...04:37
ogranautilus is patched to not show any eject items on thin clients ...since ltspfs doesnt use unmounting or ejecting04:38
ograindeed that case wasnt planned :)04:38
tsurcanyway of finding out what packages are invloved to I can file a bug in the right place?04:38
tsurc.. and ejecting from the terminal works ;) thanks04:39
ografile it against nautilus and add info that its caused by an ltsp patch and only happens on thin clients04:39
ograit wouldnt happen if you were the only user on the server though ...04:40
ogra(the ture bug is that testuser got the device assigned)04:40
ograyou could disable device mounting in the gnome settings of testuser, that would prevent this bug i guess04:41
ogra(it wnt affect the thin client devices)04:42
tsurchow would i do that?04:42
ograSystem->Settings->Removable devices ...04:43
ograuncheck the options to automount devices and CDroms ...04:43
ograif you now plug in the CD it should be owned by the admin user04:44
tsurc;) that works04:49
tsurcstill having problems with the screen viewer though. I get "Not Connected" ip, user, Unavailable (in red) install x11vnc on the client. Even though x11vnc is installed.04:55
tsurc*05:00
tsurcIs there any way of telling if a user has "OK"d a message sent through the thin-client-manager05:00
