cliebowpaolob-parroquia, :this help any?12:46
cliebowboy it looks kinda  old..12:47
paolob-parroquiacliebow, no, the problem is that I followed those instructions, but update-manager didn't work for me, it left the server in an non-totally-upgraded state01:00
bimberimaki: yes the livecd should be ok on those01:03

kelsa|martalliWhen I want to upgrade ubuntu or kubuntu, I used the "alternate install" disk, so that I did not have to download as much stuff...how could I manage that with the new disks for edubuntu?02:32
kelsa|martalliCan I do a version upgrade with the desktop cd?  Should I use the edubuntu DVD? (some of the computers don't have dvds)02:33

kelsa|martallisevilla?02:55
bimberikelsa|martalli: Edubuntu's equivalent of the alternate CD is the "Classroom Server CD".  You can upgrade using it or the DVD. You can't upgrade using the Desktop CD, only fresh install.02:56
bimberikelsa|martalli: There is an Ubuntu Education Summit (UES) being held in Sevilla.02:57
kelsa|martallibimberi:  So, if I am upgrading separate installs (not ltsp comps), then the basic packages will come out of the cd, but the gnome/etc upgrades will get downloaded?02:57
kelsa|martallibimberi:  Wish I was there =)02:57
bimberi:)02:57
kelsa|martallibimberi:  I'll fire up the old torrent client.  Thanks02:57
bimberikelsa|martalli: the classroom server cd (and the dvd) includes gnome so that can be upgraded from the cd/dvd too02:58
=== jinty [n=jinty@106.Red-83-52-94.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu
kelsa|martalliI have a few comps with edubuntu at my child's latchkey program.  Might as well upgrade them.  They have internet access (wirelessly), but it would be nice to have as many packages as possible locally02:58
bimberisure02:59
kelsa|martallibimberi:  thanks for your advice02:59
bimberikelsa|martalli: yw :)02:59
bimberi!info apt-proxy | kelsa|martalli03:00
ubotukelsa|martalli: apt-proxy: Debian archive proxy and partial mirror builder. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.9.35ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 77 kB, installed size 412 kB03:00
kelsa|martalliCould I populate a usb drive?  How much space would it take up?03:01
kelsa|martalliOh, I think what would be better would be to rsync the mirrors or something along those lines03:02
bimberikelsa|martalli: not sure really. What you could do is upgrade one PC and copy the files from /var/cache/apt/archives to the usb key03:02
kelsa|martallioic03:02
kelsa|martalliI guess that could work03:03
kelsa|martalliThey essentially have all the same software already03:03
bimberikelsa|martalli: how many pcs?03:03
kelsa|martallithree ocs03:03
kelsa|martallipcs03:03
kelsa|martalliThere are two more win98 comps (something like 16 and 64 mb) also...i wonder if I could make them into thin clients off of one of the pentium 4's (like 1.9 ghx)03:04
bimberi64 would be OK.  16 I doubt.03:04
bimberihow much RAM in the P4?03:05
kelsa|martallibimberi:  I think 25603:05
kelsa|martalliHonestly, the latchkey kids mostly pay games...that may not work well for them03:05

=== bddebian [n=bdefrees@c-71-224-172-103.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #edubuntu
kelsa|martalliSo, I would copy /var/cache/apt/archives to the usb key...then copy those files to the same directory on the other compuetr?03:06
bimberi256 might work for a couple of clients.  I'm trying to track down the server ram requirements...03:07
bimberikelsa|martalli: yes, then run the upgrade normally and apt will find those files and not need to download them03:07
kelsa|martallicould I run a thin client from Windows?03:07
kelsa|martallibimberi:  That is sweet03:07
bimberikelsa|martalli: it's how I keep this 14.4K modem connected PC I'm using now up-to-date :)03:08
ajmitchbimberi: the wonders of telstra dsl? ;)03:08
kelsa|martalliMy goodness, at 14.4, you can probably see the text coursing down the screen!03:09
bimberiajmitch: lol03:09
kelsa|martallibimberi - thanks for your help03:09
bimberikelsa|martalli: np :)03:09
bimberikelsa|martalli: btw, no idea wrt windows.  I know it has a remote desktop thingy but that's all i know03:10
kelsa|martallione last thing, bimberi - if I want to install  a thin client, can I leave the windows instal (eg, a dual boot between thin client and win98?03:13
bimberikelsa|martalli: sure, the thin client doesn't need the hard disk.  you either set your bios to boot from the network or you can use a bootable-floppy03:14
kelsa|martalliuse an online rom-o-matic?03:15
bimberikelsa|martalli: that's the one.  I quite like that method.  boot with the floppy in -> Edubuntu.  boot with it out -> HDD (in your case W98)03:16
cliebowsure..but not even 4.2 will run x on 16 meg03:16
cliebowkelsa|martalli, an etherboot enabled nic/bootrom will let you double boot03:16
cliebowwith ltsp that  is03:17
cliebowgenerally figure 256 for server and 100 meg per client for the server depending on usage.03:18

mcsdcan someone tell me a command to change the permissions of a file...chmod?08:45
cliebow_mcsd:"sure08:45
mcsdok the file is located at /usr/share/beryl but I used a "sudo" to paste it in there since root only has access08:47
mcsdwhat command would I use to open it "chmod --help" doesn't seem helpful08:47
mcsdto change it rather08:47
mcsdbasically how would I give all users read access by default08:48
mcsd--no preserve-root?08:50
mcsd!chmod\08:52
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about chmod\ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi08:52
mcsd!chmod08:52
ubotuThe files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux08:52
cliebow_sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/whatever08:52
mcsdwhat does 644 mean08:52
cliebow_trying SCREEN_07=startx in lts.conf..gdm is enabled but netstat says udp6..looks wonky08:53
cliebow_and only gray x on client08:53
