[05:21] I'm trying to get an edubuntu server/client setup working, and am having problems. [05:21] I finally got the DHCP server working tonight. [05:22] Having done that, I tried doing a Network boot with two separate computers, but it hasn't worked. [05:23] Tailing /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. [05:26] Wait. Aha. Network boot was disabled in the BIOS on the second computer I'm trying this with ... [05:27] Hmm... It did a DHCP request, and got an address, but ended up with "PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout." === Knightlust [n=Dax@ubuntu/member/knightlust] has joined #edubuntu === LaserJock [n=mantha@adsl-75-15-207-178.dsl.renocs.sbcglobal.net] has joined #edubuntu === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #edubuntu === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu [06:22] Burgundavia: It's working out to get whiprush to present.

[09:12] LaserJock: oh, that means, now that i have ubuntu installed, just the server addon cd will be enough? apt-cdrom add?? [09:12] was not a happy chappie ... but sort of better today [09:12] RichEd: hi, working on a email for you now [09:12] LaserJock: thanks ... [09:12] bibstha: that will have the educational software, you should just pop it in [09:13] LaserJock: thanks i should download that then [09:13] bibstha: for installing edubuntu-desktop I'm not sure if those packages are on the Ubuntu CD [09:13] I'm guessing not [09:13] but I don't think it should a big download [09:16] LaserJock: hey man thanks [09:17] LaserJock: the desktop cd is for live booting, the server cd is for installing, whats the actual difference with regard to the programs inside? [09:18] ah [09:18] well right now for Feisty the Desktop CD is good for demos [09:18] and have a look around [09:18] but if you want to install and LTSP server [09:18] or do a regular install (we call it workstation) [09:18] the Server CD is the way to go [09:19] it's basically got Ubuntu plus some additional stuff [09:19] and then the Server Addon CD has a lot more educational apps and a few misc. programs [09:19] LaserJock: ohh, so to just install gcompris and other games then server addon, [09:20] LaserJock: thanks again [09:21] bibstha: gcompris, KDE Edu, and others are on the Server Addon === Knightlust [n=Dax@ubuntu/member/knightlust] has joined #edubuntu === bibstha [n=bibek@202.166.223.224] has left #edubuntu ["Kopete] === ludoRA [n=Ludovic@mut38-5-82-246-189-159.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #Edubuntu === Tom47 [n=tom@unaffiliated/tom47] has joined #edubuntu [09:40] would edubuntu be a good choice as the basis for a small business ltsp or are there better choices to be considered [09:40] I personally think it's a good choice [09:40] Edubuntu's LTSP implementation is pretty solid [09:40] i was thinking that [09:41] Tom47: you can also install ubuntu server, and then LTSP package, and then the ubuntu-desktop package [09:41] and with Feisty it's much less "kiddy" oriented if you install from the Classroom Server CD [09:41] I personally would go with Edubuntu Classroom Server install then install ubuntu-artwork [09:42] then you get the automated LTSP setup from Edubuntu [09:42] RichEd: that would put a lot of function on the client or not? [09:42] and an artwork tweak from Ubuntu [09:42] LaserJock: yes sounds along the lines we were thinking [09:43] either way is going to be fairly easy [09:43] RichEd: what factors would sway things in yr suggestion? === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu [09:43] Tom47: 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 applications [09:44] Tom47: check out this link as well http://www.osv.org.au/index.cgi?tid=161 [09:44] [09:44] Catalog of Free and Open Source Software for Small-Medium Enterprises [09:44] Open Source Victoria has prepared this catalog of open source software for small-medium enterprises.

[09:44] RichEd: prob reflects my ignoranace on just exactly what the desktop is [09:44] [09:44] nice link! [09:45] Tom47: the server install would just give the "network resource engine" ... the desktop I refer to is the GUI and user applications [09:46] ok [09:46] jsgotangco: and this one http://www.osv.org.au/index.cgi?tid=155 [09:46] jsgotangco: same for education ... nice doc ... lots of apps tested & reviewed [09:46] RichEd: on the other hand, Edubuntu LTSP server install is all of that, automated [09:47] it just needs a artwork tweak to make it more business looking === Yagisan [n=Yagisan@doomsday/developer/Yagisan] has joined #edubuntu [09:47] LaserJock: is the artwork tweak documented ? [09:47] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [09:47] ^^ documented ;-) [09:48] there is a push for a small business server strategy and support ... so this sort of question will come up more frequently [09:48] actually, you really only need: [09:48] RichEd: too bad its not my field anymore [09:48] and thanks for the answer :) [09:48] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-artwork [09:49] jsgotangco: so noted ... just getting the info up in the conversation for completion ... this is the edu channel no ? ;) [09:49] it just seemed to us that starting off with ltsp and building would be reinventing many wheels [09:49] RichEd: :P [09:50] Tom47: LaserJock suggests the easier route ... Edubuntu off CD and then artwork change [09:50] RichEd: ok ty .... [09:50] we 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 to [09:50] gimme a sec and I'll tell you what you'll get === RichEd puts on the infomercial music [09:51] * not only will you get a leading LTSP environment but also, if you install now, you'll get: [09:51] (take it away LaserJock :) === LaserJock kicks vmware server [09:52] hurry up [09:58] i am about to hit the dinner gong here [09:58] well you can just remove up all the edu stuff anyways [09:58] thanks for info [09:58] its only one system you are pretty much fixing [09:58] ok, installing ubuntu-desktop [09:58] i will leave this running [09:58] gives you some mono libs [09:58] and artwork [09:58] and back in half an hour [09:58] yeah tomboy is in default [09:59] I've gotta run to bed [09:59] cya all [09:59] LaserJock: thanks for advice [10:00] great twitter is out again *sigh* === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu === ludoRA [n=Ludovic@mut38-5-82-246-189-159.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #Edubuntu === spacey [n=herman@ubuntu/member/spacey] has joined #edubuntu === jack_wyt [n=jack@124.64.105.238] has joined #edubuntu === migi [i=migi@nat/sun/x-6aa335cb45e91f8c] has joined #edubuntu === schizmatik [n=schizmat@193.68.broadband6.iol.cz] has joined #edubuntu [11:36] hello === schizmatik [n=schizmat@193.68.broadband6.iol.cz] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"] [11:47] Bonjour [11:47] Hello [11:48] hi ludoRA === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu === tsurc [n=alistair@skegnessgrammar.plus.com] has joined #edubuntu === Rondom [n=Rondom@p57A948E5.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #edubuntu === Rondom [n=Rondom@p57a97416.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu === meduxa [n=agustin@213.231.80.16.static.user.ono.com] has joined #edubuntu === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #edubuntu [01:51] hi all [01:51] any french edubuntu users here ? :p === SimonAnibal [n=sruiz@c-69-245-220-180.hsd1.in.comcast.net] has joined #edubuntu [02:20] salutr ludoRA [02:20] ludoRA: tu s francophone ?
