| LaserJock | well, I use it pretty heavily for email, calendaring, RSS | 12:21 |
|---|---|---|
| LaserJock | then there's google groups from my LUG, there's notebook, scholar, translation | 12:22 |
| LaserJock | s/from/for/ | 12:22 |
| crimsun | I use Google for Web searches. | 12:23 |
| LaserJock | sometimes I even do that ;-) | 12:24 |
| crimsun | I have a gmail account, but I never use it. It's also connected to my blog, which I never use. | 12:24 |
| LaserJock | too busy doing important things I guess | 12:25 |
| crimsun | I told you - I'm the world's most proficient tea drinker and jelly belly ingester. | 12:25 |
| LaserJock | actually, if I wasn't constantly going between OS X, Ubuntu, at home and at work I wouldn't use Google as much either | 12:25 |
| LaserJock | but Google Reader isn't my favorite RSS reader | 12:26 |
| LaserJock | but I like that I can mark something read at work and get home and it's still read ;-) | 12:26 |
| willvdl | LaserJock, who said anything about productivity? | 12:28 |
| willvdl | I can "beam up" my closing windows | 12:28 |
| willvdl | that's jsut cool :) | 12:28 |
| willvdl | only problem is my window title bars and edges have disappeared | 12:28 |

| dean_za | hi ogra , thanks for our help yesterday , i managed to get x11vnc installed but it does not work with the -forever -bg switches it works with -forever -loop & | 10:00 |
| dean_za | i found though that if i launch TCM from a thin client it hangs the pc as soon as the vncviewer screen show its own session | 10:01 |
| dean_za | i am going to re-install to check , before i do though i was hoping for some gudance regarding raid1 and swap | 10:02 |
| dean_za | i have read that it slows performance which i understand | 10:02 |
| dean_za | but it got me thinking about the ltsp swap and weere it is created | 10:03 |
| dean_za | surely having the swap directory for ltsp on a raid1 is a bad idea ? | 10:03 |
| dean_za | does anyone know where the swap files are created ? are they the same thing as the old swap for ltsp4.2 ? i seem to recall swap on nbd not sure what that is | 10:06 |
| LaserJock | I have no idea, but I don't think ogra is up yet | 10:07 |
| dean_za | sorry , the right hand screen has his name in the same font as mine , i figured it meant he was online | 10:08 |
| LaserJock | well, he's always here :-) | 10:09 |
| pips1 | people like to leave their irc running, even if they aren't at the computer... ogra will eventually read your message though | 10:09 |
| LaserJock | he's just not exactly always here | 10:09 |
| pips1 | (with a bit of luck) | 10:10 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: ping? | 10:10 |
| pips1 | I don't think he is online | 10:11 |
| LaserJock | hmm | 10:11 |
| RichEd | hi guys ... lurking ... not feeling so good this morning | 10:11 |
| pips1 | ah | 10:11 |
| pips1 | hi RichEd | 10:11 |
| dean_za | so anyone else have any thoughts on raid1 ? | 10:12 |
| RichEd | change in the weather ... winter stuffy head & very little concentration ... | 10:12 |
| pips1 | same here actually! | 10:12 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: quick question, do you want Education/Objectives stuff by email or can I edit the wiki page directly | 10:12 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: I saw your little "Don't touch" notice at the bottom of the page | 10:12 |
| RichEd | LaserJock: mail for the moment ... I may fiddle around in the page today | 10:12 |
| RichEd | thanks | 10:13 |
| LaserJock | RichEd: k | 10:13 |
| pips1 | what other channel might be worth pinging with questions about raid experiences, folks? | 10:14 |
| RichEd | pips1: ubuntu ... edubuntu should be no different ? | 10:17 |
| pips1 | nope, no difference | 10:17 |
| pips1 | I just wonder where lots of people with raid experience might hang out? possibly #ubuntu-server or #LTSP | 10:18 |
| pips1 | dean_za: try ^^^ | 10:18 |
| RichEd | #ubuntu-server I recokn | 10:18 |
| RichEd | *reckon | 10:18 |
| pips1 | hmm, they recommend #ubuntu for general support, ubuntu-server is only for server kernel questions, I reckon | 10:19 |
| pips1 | still worth trying | 10:20 |
| LaserJock | well, if the question is how is swap handled in LTSP then #ltsp seems like the logical choice | 10:20 |
| ogra | dean_za, would you mind fixing the wiki guide wrt vnc ? | 10:21 |
| pips1 | yes, good point | 10:21 |
| LaserJock | in fact we might want to put a notice in the topic or a bot factoid about trying #ltsp for LTSP related questions | 10:21 |

| ogra | ubunterror, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:44 |
| ogra | make sure to select vesa and the right values for your monitor | 11:44 |

| pips1 | RichEd: ping | 11:51 |
| RichEd | pips1: pong | 11:51 |
| pips1 | do you have any links for ubunterror? | 11:51 |
| pips1 | ^^^ | 11:51 |
| RichEd | ubunterror: for computer programming subject ? I am not clear on your requirement | 11:52 |
| pips1 | ubunterror: you are looking for curriculum suggestions, rather than content, right? | 11:53 |
| ubunterror | RichEd, pips1: I'm looking for an outline I can work on, for kids to be able to use Edubuntu, starting age 5 until age 16. This will be the computer subject for our school. | 11:54 |
| ubunterror | I cannot find sites where there are Edubuntu activities for children. | 11:55 |
| ubunterror | So I am developing my own, based on our current MS-based activities. | 11:56 |
| pips1 | have a look at http://schoolforge.org.uk/index.php/ICT_Curriculum | 11:56 |
| RichEd | ubunterror: let me look around a bit for you ... what country are you doing this for as a matter of interest ? | 11:56 |
| pips1 | ubunterror: where are you based? do you need to follow national curriculum guidelines, or do you have freedom to develop own? | 11:56 |
| pips1 | ubunterror: the above link i gave is UK specific... | 11:57 |
| ubunterror | pips1: Philippines. We have the freedom to develop, and i'm trying hard to make a curriculum and push Edubuntu to schools here, since a lot of them use unlicensed software. The link is a good outline, if there are some which are more detailed, it would be very helpful. | 12:00 |
| RichEd | ubunterror: this page has just been started, but it may be a useful place to share info: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Lessons | 12:01 |
| jsgotangco | nice nick btw | 12:01 |
| ubunterror | RichEd: Thanks for the link, will look into it. I'm actually looking into a stand-alone computer subject which concentrates wholly on open source, using Edubuntu as OS. | 12:04 |

| cliebow | RichEd:how did it go yesterdaay? | 12:05 |
| RichEd | cliebow: will get back to you is a few minutes ... let me sort out the thread with ubunterror | 12:06 |
| RichEd | sorry ubunterror I am still not clear ... my head is fuzzy with the flu today ... are you looking to teach "computers as a subject ... i.e. programming etc." or to use computers (edubuntu) to teach general subjects | 12:07 |
| cliebow | no prob..any timke | 12:08 |
| ubunterror | RichEd: teaching computers as a subject. Of course, the activities will be useful as they will be related to the other subjects. | 12:09 |
| jsgotangco | ubunterror: i am from philippines too btw ;-) | 12:09 |
| pips1 | ubunterror: I don't know if the following site will be any use to you, but cetis from the uk has lots of online resources, and some are really usefull... have a look at http://dfl.cetis.ac.uk/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ? | 12:10 |

| erlingre | what is the status of diskless edubuntu/ubuntu? | 02:30 |
| ogra | erlingre, status in what way ? | 02:31 |
| ogra | its the state of the art ltsp implementation | 02:31 |
| pips1 | erlingre: by diskless, do you mean thin clients? | 02:31 |
| erlingre | ogra: but does ubuntu/edubuntu provide a diskless solution? where the client is a regular pc, running all software, but without any storage and mounting / from a server | 02:32 |
| pips1 | ah | 02:33 |
| ogra | erlingre, not yet out of the box ... | 02:34 |
| ogra | you can set it up manually though | 02:34 |
| ogra | for an out of the box setup we're missing an out of the box network auth mechanism ... if you have that running, its as easy as:sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install edubuntu-desktop | 02:35 |
| erlingre | I have a mostly working setup where I just installed ubuntu on a pc, rsynced to a Debian server, exports one rootfs for each client and a shared ro. Only one problem. While mounting the shared usr the clients stalls for more than one minute and finally prints a "failed" message even if /usr really is mounted. I have checked everything I can think of several times, but have not yet managed to fix it | 02:35 |

| ogra | what do you mean by you rsynced an ubuntu system to a debian server ? | 02:36 |
| erlingre | I just used rsync to copy the entire Ubuntu system to a debian fileserver to a directory like /ubuntu_feisty/ and later exported that directory to diskless clients by NFS | 02:37 |
| ogra | right, but you will need REW parts in the system | 02:38 |
| ogra | *RW | 02:38 |
| erlingre | yes | 02:38 |
| ogra | thats what the ltsp setup usually cares for | 02:38 |
| ogra | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall | 02:38 |
| erlingre | I create a new rootfs for each diskless client based on the files in /ubuntu_feisty/ | 02:38 |
| erlingre | Do you think it is a better approach to follow the ltsp tutorials and just use /opt/ltsp/i386? | 02:40 |
| ogra | well, ltsp has some easy mechanisms to mount files and dirs into a tmpfs if it needs them RW | 02:40 |
| ogra | it also autodetects sound and X setup ... | 02:41 |
| erlingre | maybe I try that approach if I give up the manual setup I have now | 02:42 |
| erlingre | exept the nfs mounting problems it works okay so far | 02:42 |
| ogra | well, its a lot of maintenance work to care for so many chroots | 02:43 |
| ogra | with the ltsp setup you can just have one :) | 02:43 |
| erlingre | do you have any suggestions for long delays during nfs mounts? I check with rpcifo -p. The client runs portmapper, nlockmgr, and status. The server runs nfs and mountd in addition. | 02:44 |
| ogra | how about portmap :) | 02:44 |
| ogra | ah, you listed it, sorry i'm blind today | 02:44 |
| ogra | err, do you run it on the server as well ? | 02:45 |
| erlingre | yes.. | 02:45 |
| ogra | no weird hosts.allow/.deny entries ? | 02:45 |
| erlingre | I have also tried a diskless Debian etch setup from the same server and do not experience such problems so it must be something with the Ubuntu client setup | 02:45 |
| ogra | debian etchs ltsp implementation is very old | 02:46 |
| ogra | its what we shipped in dapper | 02:46 |
| ogra | or somewhere between dapper and edgy | 02:46 |
| erlingre | I don't use any ltsp stuff in Debian etch. Just a plain Debian install on a pc and copy that install to the server and export it to clients later | 02:47 |
| ogra | ah | 02:47 |

| moquist | ogra: I'm pretty sure that back in the day I specified the 'nv' driver manually (this is a customized dual-head setup), so I'll try another driver and see where I get. | 03:00 |
| ogra | well | 03:00 |
| ogra | you dont have gettys | 03:00 |
| ogra | its no X bug | 03:00 |
| ogra | its upstart that isnt set up correctly | 03:01 |
| ace_suares | !paste | 03:01 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 03:01 |
| moquist | ogra: Heh; right. I got distracted for a while and came back to the problem remembering only 75% of our previous conversation. | 03:02 |
| === moquist looks into the gettys | ||
| moquist | eh, shouldn't I be able to run the getty command in /etc/event.d/tty1 and get a TTY on tty1? | 03:04 |
| moquist | It didn't work... | 03:04 |
| === aze [n=aze@208.76.31.180] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | heh, did you look inside ? | 03:06 |
| ogra | its no script :) | 03:06 |
| moquist | hunh? I just executed '/sbin/getty 38400 tty1exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1' as root, but got no login prompt on TTY1 when I switched. | 03:06 |
| moquist | ogra: thx for the upgrading link, BTW. I'm going to send that to several colleagues who probably do apt-get dist-upgrade :) | 03:07 |
| ogra | leave that to upstart ;) | 03:07 |
| ogra | right | 03:07 |
| ogra | nobody should use apt for upgrades since edgy anymore ... we made very prominent announcements about that | 03:08 |
| === moquist missed the memo | ||
| moquist | ogra: Right, upstart should start getty for me. But given that it isn't, shouldn't root be able to start it? | 03:11 |
| moquist | i.e., given that I just ran getty as root, using the command found in /etc/event.d/tty1, and it didn't start a tty, perhaps upstart is doing the right thing but getty isn't. | 03:12 |
| highvoltage | http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/05/25/1536219 | 03:13 |
| highvoltage | moquist: did you try pre-seeding with ubiquity? did it work? | 03:14 |
| ogra | moquist, very unlikely | 03:14 |
| ogra | moquist, dpkg -l upstart ? | 03:14 |
| moquist | 0.3.8-1 | 03:14 |
| moquist | ogra: Hmm. OK. | 03:14 |
| ogra | dpkg -l|grep sysv | 03:14 |
| moquist | highvoltage: not yet | 03:15 |
| ogra | shoudl return: upstart-compat-sysv sysvutils and sysv-rc | 03:15 |
| moquist | http://n01se.net/paste/g5?pretty=no | 03:15 |
| moquist | ogra: yep | 03:15 |
| moquist | highvoltage: I've got to get the server install CD booting properly on the network first and I'll try preseeding there (so I know what I'm doing), and then I'll try it again with ubiquity | 03:16 |
| moquist | highvoltage: strangely enough, casper turned out to be the wrong thing to use for the non-Live install CDs ;) | 03:16 |
| moquist | i.e., the boot=casper stuff seems not to be working. | 03:17 |
| moquist | (for server, alternate, edubuntu-server) | 03:17 |
| ogra | how should it ? | 03:18 |
| ogra | casper is the liveCD part for initramfs | 03:18 |
| highvoltage | moquist: yes, indeed :) | 03:19 |
| moquist | ogra: Yeah, that's why I was winking. *Of course* it shouldn't work, but that didn't occur to me until after I tried it. | 03:19 |

| LaserJock | ogra: what's cjwatson talking about? | 07:49 |
| ogra | building the livefs | 07:49 |
| ogra | in former releases it wasnt possible for me to build any livefses | 07:49 |
| ogra | or for riddell | 07:50 |
| ogra | thats a new feature since january | 07:50 |
| LaserJock | so now you guys can build the livefs? | 07:51 |
| ogra | right | 07:54 |
| ogra | which makes everything easier | 07:54 |
| ogra | hah, and my virtualbox install succeeded too | 07:55 |
| ogra | so the i386 iso seems good to go ... | 07:55 |
| ogra | looks pretty good for a first milestone iso | 07:55 |
| ogra | LaserJock. did Keybuk talk to you about SoC ? | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | ogra: yes | 08:04 |
| ogra | good | 08:06 |
| LaserJock | so I'm mentoring a grub frontend | 08:06 |
| ogra | heh | 08:06 |
| LaserJock | or rather grub config guid | 08:07 |
| LaserJock | *gui | 08:07 |
| ogra | i once wrote a very simple one for warty ... | 08:07 |
| ogra | actually my first python proggy | 08:07 |
| ogra | i won a network monitoring SoC today as well btw :) | 08:08 |

| LaserJock | ogra: still around? | 08:34 |
| LaserJock | well, I guess this might be more for RichEd | 08:35 |
| LaserJock | but I just had a conversation with one of the IT heads of my uni | 08:35 |
| LaserJock | he's a big fan of Ubuntu | 08:36 |
| ogra | nice :) | 08:36 |
| LaserJock | I think he might be interested in some "Edubuntu in Universities" type stuff | 08:36 |
| LaserJock | he's particularly interested in network auth and AD | 08:36 |
| LaserJock | he's got a group of math students that prefer to use Linux | 08:37 |
| LaserJock | but he'd like to be able to integrate them better into the uni network | 08:37 |
| LaserJock | ogra: is cjwatson going to fix the "Desktop CD doesn't install edu apps" problem or is that something we have to handle? I can't remember what you said last time we talked about it | 08:47 |
| ogra | i hav to discuss that with him | 08:48 |

| LaserJock | ogra: I talked to mvo and pitti, who else might know? cjwatson? | 08:52 |
| ogra | yes | 08:53 |
| LaserJock | it'd be nice to be able to get all the installer/disc issues done by tribe 3 | 08:57 |
| ogra | well, i'm not even sue we'll have a tribe1 | 09:04 |
