GreySimAnyone know how to get nbdswapd without actually installing ltsp-server? I'm actually using Ubuntu Feisty, but figured the people in here would be more intimately familiar with LTSP and probably nbdswapd.04:43
BurgundaviaI have no idea04:44

ArmagonGreetings.05:20
ArmagonI'm trying to get an edubuntu server/client setup working, and am having problems.05:21
ArmagonI finally got the DHCP server working tonight.05:21
ArmagonHaving done that, I tried doing a Network boot with two separate computers, but it hasn't worked.05:22
ArmagonTailing /var/log/syslog, I see that the ethernet link goes up and down (I'm using a direct link between two computers -- the cable goes right between them, and, as the server (a MacBook) automatically detects how the signal works, I don't need a crossover cable (which I don't have)).  The link goes up and down, but no DHCP request is issued during the time that the other PC tried to boot over the network.05:23
ArmagonWait.  Aha.  Network boot was disabled in the BIOS on the second computer I'm trying this with ...05:26
ArmagonHmm...  It did a DHCP request, and got an address, but ended up with "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout."05:27

bibsthaLaserJock: Any idea how to install edubuntu on top of ubuntu??09:10

bibsthaLaserJock: through CD??09:10
LaserJockyou can install edubuntu-desktop09:10

=== willvdl [n=will@vc-196-207-41-253.3g.vodacom.co.za] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockand then if you grab the Edubuntu Classroom Server Addon CD you can install the educational apps from CD09:11
RichEdhi willvdl & LaserJock ... sorry I missed the meeting last night ... was ill in bed with some sort of flu and gastric ...09:11
bibsthaLaserJock: oh, that means, now that i have ubuntu installed, just the server addon cd will be enough? apt-cdrom add??09:12
RichEdwas not a happy chappie ... but sort of better today09:12
LaserJockRichEd: hi, working on a email for you now09:12
RichEdLaserJock: thanks ...09:12
LaserJockbibstha: that will have the educational software, you should just pop it in09:12
bibsthaLaserJock: thanks i should download that then09:13
LaserJockbibstha: for installing edubuntu-desktop I'm not sure if those packages are on the Ubuntu CD09:13
LaserJockI'm guessing not09:13
LaserJockbut I don't think it should a big download09:13
bibsthaLaserJock: hey man thanks09:16
bibsthaLaserJock: the desktop cd is for live booting, the server cd is for installing, whats the actual difference with regard to the programs inside?09:17
LaserJockah09:18
LaserJockwell right now for Feisty the Desktop CD is good for demos09:18
LaserJockand have a look around09:18
LaserJockbut if you want to install and LTSP server09:18
LaserJockor do a regular install (we call it workstation)09:18
LaserJockthe Server CD is the way to go09:18
LaserJockit's basically got Ubuntu plus some additional stuff09:19
LaserJockand then the Server Addon CD has a lot more educational apps and a few misc. programs09:19
bibsthaLaserJock: ohh, so to just install gcompris and other games then server addon,09:19
bibsthaLaserJock: thanks again09:20
LaserJockbibstha: gcompris, KDE Edu, and others are on the Server Addon09:21

=== Tom47 [n=tom@unaffiliated/tom47] has joined #edubuntu
Tom47would edubuntu be a good choice as the basis for a small business ltsp or are there better choices to be considered09:40
LaserJockI personally think it's a good choice09:40
LaserJockEdubuntu's LTSP implementation is pretty solid09:40
Tom47i was thinking that09:40
RichEdTom47: you can also install ubuntu server, and then LTSP package, and then the ubuntu-desktop package09:41
LaserJockand with Feisty it's much less "kiddy" oriented if you install from the Classroom Server CD09:41
LaserJockI personally would go with Edubuntu Classroom Server install then install ubuntu-artwork09:41
LaserJockthen you get the automated LTSP setup from Edubuntu09:42
Tom47RichEd: that would put a lot of function on the client or not?09:42
LaserJockand an artwork tweak from Ubuntu09:42
Tom47LaserJock: yes sounds along the lines we were thinking09:42
LaserJockeither way is going to be fairly easy09:43
Tom47RichEd: what factors would sway things in yr suggestion?09:43
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu
RichEdTom47: not sure exactly what your comment asks ... but the server is the base, the LTSP is the thin client "support" and then the desktop is needed on the server to give the thin clients a desktop ... with all of the standard ubuntu desktop applications09:43
RichEdTom47: check out this link as well http://www.osv.org.au/index.cgi?tid=16109:44

RichEd Catalog of Free and Open Source Software for Small-Medium Enterprises  09:44
RichEdOpen Source Victoria has prepared this catalog of open source software for small-medium enterprises. Within it, we have researched and provided a synopsis on a range of software which we believe will be beneficial to many businesses and small public-sector organisations.09:44
Tom47RichEd: prob reflects my ignoranace on just exactly what the desktop is09:44
RichEd</quote>09:44
jsgotangconice link!09:44
RichEdTom47: the server install would just give the "network resource engine" ... the desktop I refer to is the GUI and user applications09:45
Tom47ok09:46
RichEdjsgotangco: and this one http://www.osv.org.au/index.cgi?tid=15509:46
RichEdjsgotangco: same for education ... nice doc ... lots of apps tested & reviewed09:46
LaserJockRichEd: on the other hand, Edubuntu LTSP server install is all of that, automated09:46
LaserJockit just needs a artwork tweak to make it more business looking09:47
=== Yagisan [n=Yagisan@doomsday/developer/Yagisan] has joined #edubuntu
RichEdLaserJock: is the artwork tweak documented ?09:47
LaserJocksudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop09:47
LaserJock^^ documented ;-)09:47
RichEdthere is a push for a small business server strategy and support ... so this sort of question will come up more frequently09:48
LaserJockactually, you really only need:09:48
jsgotangcoRichEd: too bad its not my field anymore09:48
RichEdand thanks for the answer :)09:48
LaserJocksudo apt-get install ubuntu-artwork09:48
RichEdjsgotangco: so noted ... just getting the info up in the conversation for completion ... this is the edu channel no ? ;)09:49
Tom47it just seemed to us that starting off with ltsp and building would be reinventing many wheels09:49
jsgotangcoRichEd: :P09:49
RichEdTom47: LaserJock suggests the easier route ... Edubuntu off CD and then artwork change09:50
Tom47RichEd: ok ty ....09:50
RichEdwe also recommend for a LTSP newbie to install (the easier) edubuntu LTSP to get a grip, and then to try the ubuntu route if they need to or want to09:50
LaserJockgimme a sec and I'll tell you what you'll get09:50
=== RichEd puts on the infomercial music
RichEd* not only will you get a leading LTSP environment but also, if you install now, you'll get:09:51
RichEd(take it away LaserJock :)09:51
=== LaserJock kicks vmware server
LaserJockhurry up09:52
Tom47i am about to hit the dinner gong here09:58
jsgotangcowell you can just remove up all the edu stuff anyways09:58
Tom47thanks for info09:58
jsgotangcoits only one system you are pretty much fixing09:58

Tom47i will leave this running09:58

energymediaHi All :o)10:36
energymediaDoes anyone have experience using Edubuntu server (ltsp)?  Im struggling to get thin client desktop units connecting to the server, are there any obvious things I should check.  I have checked and rechecked everything - the only thing I have noticed is that the step by step guide on the web did not match with what I was doing, have there been any changes to the software that are not shown on...10:57
energymedia...the website?10:57
LaserJockogra: cjwatson showed me where the app-install stuff comes from10:58
ograLaserJock, ah, cool10:58
LaserJockenergymedia: what Edubuntu release are you using, and where on the website are you looking?10:59
energymedialaserjock - we just downloaded 7.0410:59
LaserJockogra: I'm not exactly sure how to plug in our changes to it10:59
LaserJockogra: but for the applications.menu it does a simple cp10:59
energymedialaserjock - I followed the steps at http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted11:00
ograLaserJock, lets look at that tomoroow, i'm on mz waz to the bathtub :)11:00
ogragah11:00
LaserJockogra: heh, no problem11:00
ogras/z/y11:00
LaserJockenergymedia: you might try looking at http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/11:01
energymediaLaserJock - I went in their too but directly in at http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/handbook/C/server.html11:02
energymediathe part that I *think* is an issue is that I need to check and verify that the correct services are active11:04
energymediathe other part is... Can I use "Remote desktop protocol (RDP)" or do I need to use X windows?11:05
LaserJockI'm not great with LTSP setups11:06
LaserJockbut for your last question, using them for what?11:06
energymediaWhat I want to do is have one server - 10 thin clients (neoware c50's).11:07
LaserJockok11:07
energymediaIm determined NOT to have to use any MS Windows boxes to get my solution working! :o)11:07
LaserJockheh11:08
energymediaWe took the big jump one week and everyone that was just using a desktop pc with office, ie and outlook ended up coming in on the following monday to find Ubuntu 7.04 with Firefox, thunderbird, and Ooo11:10
energymediathey all accepted it and it was the best thing we could have done.  Now we are bring all the 'various' systems inline to Ub.11:10
LaserJockcool11:11
energymediaits just we want to centralize everything and use thin clients as I have seen how good they can work11:12
